Abstract excerpt
By following peroxiredoxin I (Prx I)-dependent NADPH oxidation spectrophotometrically, we observed that Prx I activity decreased gradually with time. The decay in activity was coincident with the conversion of Prx I to a more acidic species as assessed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Mass spectral analysis and studies with Cys mutants determined that this shift in pI was due to selective oxidation of the...
