β¦ Synopsis
The positive-and negative-ion collision-induced dissociation spectra of peptides containing methionine, methionine sulphoxide and methionine sulphone have been studied. Characteristic fragmentations were identified and evaluated as possible indicators for the presence of oxidized methionine residues in peptides. It was found that the elimination of CH,SOH ( -64 u) from [M+Hl+ is unique for peptides that contain methionine sulphoxide. Sequence ions containing the oxidized methionhe undergo the same elimination, allowing unambiguous sequence determination. Methionine sulphone exhibits an analogous elimination of CH,SO,H ( -80 u) from the protonated molecule, but not from sequence ions.

The rnyeloperoxidase-mediated oxidation of methionine was studied using a purified canine myeloperoxidase preparation. The system required the simultaneous presence of myeloperoxidase, H202, and a halide anion. When 0.1 mM H 2 0 2 was used, the system has a pH optimum of approximately pH 5-5.5. Brom
