β¦ Synopsis
Treatment of free methionine with an equimolar amount of periodate gave nearly quantitative formation of the sulfoxide; treatment of free methionine sulfoxide with equimolar periodate gave nearly equal amounts of the original sulfoxide and the sulfone. Treatments of OS-1 .O% solutions of the following proteins with relatively low concentration of periodate (5 mM) gave the following approximate values for conversion of methionine sulfoxide from total methionine: bovine pancreatic ribonuclease A (2 of 4), chicken ovalbumin (14 of 17), chicken ovotransferrin (5 of 1 l), human serum transferrin (2 of 8), bovine a-chymotrypsin (1 of 2). It is recommended that when proteins are treated with sodium periodate (and probably with oxidizing agents in general), especially when changes in properties are observed, determinations of methionine sulfoxide should be done.
