Evaluation of Hydroxyl Radical Reactivity by Thioether Group Proximity in Model Peptide Backbone: Methionine versus S-Methyl-Cysteine
Hydroxyl radicals (HO<sup>•</sup>) have long been regarded as a major source of cellular damage. The reaction of HO<sup>•</sup> with methionine residues (Met) in peptides and proteins is a complex multistep process. Although the reaction mechanism has been intensively studied...
