Abstract
One-electron oxidation of tyrosine primarily results in the formation of di-tyrosine, which can induce crosslinks leading to protein damage. In this study, we investigated the 3-carboxybenzophenone-sensitized photo-oxidation of Tyr derivatives through time-resolved and steady-state photolysis under anaerobic conditions to analyze the effects of blocking groups.
The mechanism for primary and secondary photoreactions in the sensitized photo-oxidation of Tyr derivatives in aqueous solution was presented based on time-resolved analysis and mass spectrometric characterization of photo-oxidation products. Identified di-Tyr products (in addition to those mentioned more often in the literature, such as 3,3′/3,O’) were in some samples presented together with Tyr-CBH adduct (resulting from radical recombination between the tyrosyl radical and CBH•). This publication discusses the possible coulombic effects of interacting ionic species (sensitizer and quencher) on quenching rate constants and the effect of amine groups and steric factors on the distribution of stable products. However, a crucial finding of this work is that the more blocked the Tyr is, the more di-Tyr isomers are formed, suggesting that Tyr residue in proteins may form several forms of di-Tyr cross-links.
期刊介绍:
JPPA publishes the results of fundamental studies on all aspects of chemical phenomena induced by interactions between light and molecules/matter of all kinds.
All systems capable of being described at the molecular or integrated multimolecular level are appropriate for the journal. This includes all molecular chemical species as well as biomolecular, supramolecular, polymer and other macromolecular systems, as well as solid state photochemistry. In addition, the journal publishes studies of semiconductor and other photoactive organic and inorganic materials, photocatalysis (organic, inorganic, supramolecular and superconductor).
The scope includes condensed and gas phase photochemistry, as well as synchrotron radiation chemistry. A broad range of processes and techniques in photochemistry are covered such as light induced energy, electron and proton transfer; nonlinear photochemical behavior; mechanistic investigation of photochemical reactions and identification of the products of photochemical reactions; quantum yield determinations and measurements of rate constants for primary and secondary photochemical processes; steady-state and time-resolved emission, ultrafast spectroscopic methods, single molecule spectroscopy, time resolved X-ray diffraction, luminescence microscopy, and scattering spectroscopy applied to photochemistry. Papers in emerging and applied areas such as luminescent sensors, electroluminescence, solar energy conversion, atmospheric photochemistry, environmental remediation, and related photocatalytic chemistry are also welcome.
