Abstract
The enzyme peroxidase, a substrate (hydrogen donor), and hydrogen peroxide aggregated and polymerized soluble proteins included in the reaction mixture. Gel filtration and acrylamide disk gel electrophoresis revealed newly formed dimers, trimers, and higher protein polymers. Some of the protein polymers withstood the denaturing conditions of dodecyl sulfate disk gel electrophoresis; thus the formation of some covalent cross links was indicated. It is suggested that peroxidase catalyzes the oxidation of hydrogen donors to form free radicals or quinones, which subsequently interact with, cross link, and alter the soluble proteins.

## Abstract Peroxidase, catechol, and hydrogen peroxide were shown to react with proteins, causing a decrease in lysine detectable after acid hydrolysis. The loss of lysine did not occur in the presence of benzenesulfinic acid which suggested that the quinones formed by peroxidase had oxidized some
Two kinds of radiation-induced protein damages, cross-linking and scissoring, were studied using a thin fraction of avian egg white. It was found that at a dose of I0 kGy in N20 saturated samples only one third of the affected protein molecules underwent aggregation, while, contrary to the results o
