Abstract
Towards intracellular engineering of living organisms, the development of new biocompatible polymerization system applicable for an intrinsically non-natural macromolecules synthesis for modulating living organism function/behavior is a key step. Herein, we find that the tyrosine residues in the cofactor-free proteins can be employed to mediate controlled radical polymerization under 405 nm light. A proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) mechanism between the excited-state TyrOH* residue in proteins and the monomer or the chain transfer agent is confirmed. By using Tyr-containing proteins, a wide range of well-defined polymers are successfully generated. Especially, the developed photopolymerization system shows good biocompatibility, which can achieve in-situ extracellular polymerization from the surface of yeast cells for agglutination/anti-agglutination functional manipulation or intracellular polymerization inside yeast cells, respectively. Besides providing a universal aqueous photopolymerization system, this study should contribute a new way to generate various non-natural polymers in vitro or in vivo to engineer living organism functions and behaviours.

Abstract
Proteins are modified during milk processing and storage, with sidechain oxidation and crosslinking being major consequences. Despite the prevalence and importance of proteins in milk, and particularly caseins (∼80% of total content), the nature of the cross-links formed by oxidation, and their mechanisms of formation, are poorly characterized. In this study, we investigated the formation and stability of cross-links generated by the nucleophilic addition of Cys residues to quinones generated on oxidation of Tyr residues. The mechanisms and stability of these adducts was explored using ubiquitin as a model protein, and β-casein. Ubiquitin and β-casein were oxidized using a rose Bengal/visible light/O2 system, or by the enzyme tyrosinase. The oxidized proteins were incubated with glutathione or β-lactoglobulin (non-oxidized, but unfolded by treatment at 70 °C), before analysis by SDS-PAGE, immunoblotting and LC-MS. Our data indicate that Cys-quinone adducts are readily-formed, and are stable for >48 h. Thus, oxidized β-casein reacts efficiently with the thermally unfolded β-lactoglobulin, likely via Michael addition of the exposed Cys to a Tyr-derived quinone. These data provide a novel, and possibly general, mechanism of protein cross-link formation, and provides information of the stability of these species that have potential as markers of protein quality.

Abstract
The heme peroxidase family generates a battery of oxidants both for synthetic purposes, and in the innate immune defence against pathogens. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is the most promiscuous family member, generating powerful oxidizing species including hypochlorous acid (HOCl). Whilst HOCl formation is important in pathogen removal, this species is also implicated in host tissue damage and multiple inflammatory diseases. Significant oxidant formation and damage occurs extracellularly as a result of MPO release via phagolysosomal leakage, cell lysis, extracellular trap formation, and inappropriate trafficking. MPO binds strongly to extracellular biomolecules including polyanionic glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans, proteins, and DNA. This localizes MPO and subsequent damage, at least partly, to specific sites and species, including extracellular matrix (ECM) components and plasma proteins/lipoproteins. Biopolymer-bound MPO retains, or has enhanced, catalytic activity, though evidence is also available for non-catalytic effects. These interactions, particularly at cell surfaces and with the ECM/glycocalyx induce cellular dysfunction and altered gene expression. MPO binds with higher affinity to some damaged ECM components, rationalizing its accumulation at sites of inflammation. MPO-damaged biomolecules and fragments act as chemo-attractants and cell activators, and can modulate gene and protein expression in naïve cells, consistent with an increasing cycle of MPO adhesion, activity, damage, and altered cell function at sites of leukocyte infiltration and activation, with subsequent tissue damage and dysfunction. MPO levels are used clinically both diagnostically and prognostically, and there is increasing interest in strategies to prevent MPO-mediated damage; therapeutic aspects are not discussed as these have been reviewed elsewhere.

Abstract
Preventing lipid oxidation, especially with the polyunsaturated fat-based products, is a major concern in sectors as agri-food and cosmetic. Even though the efficiency of synthetic antioxidants has been recognized, both consumers and manufacturers are looking for more innovative, healthy and quality products while rejecting synthetic additives due to their concern about safety, along with their environmental impact issues. In this context, plant biomass, which have shown to be rich in compounds, have raised interest for the isolation of novel naturally occurring antioxidants. Among their myriad of molecules, bioactive peptides, which are biologically active sequence of amino acid residues of proteins, seem to be of a great interest. Therefore, the number of identified amino acids sequences of bioactive peptides from plant biomass with potential antioxidant action is progressively increasing. Thus, this review provides a description of 129 works that have been made to produce bioactive peptides (hydrolysate, fraction and/or isolate peptide) from 55 plant biomass, along with the procedure to examine their antioxidant capacity (until 2019 included). The protein name, the process, and the method to concentrate or isolate antioxidant bioactive peptides, along with their identification and/or specificity were described. Considering the complex, dynamic and multifactorial physico-chemical mechanisms of the lipid oxidation, an appropriate in-vitro methodology should be better performed to efficiently probe the antioxidant potential of bioactive peptides. Therefore, the results were discussed, and perspective for antioxidant applications of bioactive peptides from plant biomass was argued.

Abstract
Protein oxidation, a phenomenon that was not well recognized previously but now better understood, is a complex chemical process occurring ubiquitously in food systems and can be induced by processing treatments as well. While early research concentrated on muscle protein oxidation, later investigations included plant, milk, and egg proteins. The process of protein oxidation involves both radicals and nonradicals, and amino acid side chain groups are usually the site of initial oxidant attack which generates protein carbonyls, disulfide, dityrosine, and protein radicals. The ensuing alteration of protein conformational structures and formation of protein polymers and aggregates can result in significant changes in solubility and functionality, such as gelation, emulsification, foaming, and water-holding. Oxidant dose-dependent effects have been widely reported, i.e., mild-to-moderate oxidation may enhance the functionality while strong oxidation leads to insolubilization and functionality losses. Therefore, controlling the extent of protein oxidation in both animal and plant protein foods through oxidative and antioxidative strategies has been of wide interest in model system as well in in situ studies. This review presents a historical perspective of food protein oxidation research and provides an inclusive discussion of the impact of chemical and enzymatic oxidation on functional properties of meat, legume, cereal, dairy, and egg proteins based on the literature reports published in recent decades.

Abstract
Endothelial cell dysfunction is an early event in cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis. The origin of this dysfunction is unresolved, but accumulating evidence implicates damaging oxidants, including hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a major oxidant produced by myeloperoxidase (MPO), during chronic inflammation. MPO is released extracellularly by activated leukocytes and binds to extracellular molecules including fibronectin, a major matrix glycoprotein involved in endothelial cell binding. We hypothesized that MPO binding might influence the modifications induced on fibronectin, when compared to reagent HOCl, with this including alterations to the extent of damage to protein side-chains, modified structural integrity, changes to functional domains, and impact on naïve human coronary artery endothelial cell (HCAEC) adhesion and metabolic activity. The effect of increasing concentrations of the alternative MPO substrate thiocyanate (SCN-), which might decrease HOCl formation were also examined. Exposure of fibronectin to MPO/H2O2/Cl- is shown to result in damage to the functionally important cell-binding and heparin-binding fragments, gross structural changes to the protein, and altered HCAEC adhesion and activity. Differences were observed between stoichiometric, and above-stoichiometric MPO concentrations consistent with an effect of MPO binding to fibronectin. In contrast, MPO/H2O2/SCN- induced much less marked changes and limited protein damage. Addition of increasing SCN- concentrations to the MPO/H2O2/Cl- system provided protection, with 20 μM of this anion rescuing damage to functionally-important domains, decreasing chemical modification, and maintaining normal HCAEC behavior. Modulating MPO binding to fibronectin, or enhancing SCN- levels at sites of inflammation may therefore limit MPO-mediated damage, and be of therapeutic value.

Abstract
Three EPR signals from individual free radical species have been identified in the EPR spectra of horse heart metmyoglobin (HH metMb) mixed with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The peroxyl radical EPR signal was assigned to the Trp14-OO• radical, the seven component signal – to the Tyr103• radical and the singlet EPR signal was assigned to the Tyr146• radical. Apo-Mb (haem free HH Mb) added in various concentrations to the native metMb prior to H2O2 addition affected the yields of the three types of radicals. As the concentrations of metMb and H2O2 were kept constant, the yield of the primary radical formed is the same in all experiments, H2O2 being unable to produce any radical in the reaction with a haem free protein. Nevertheless, the addition of apo-Mb resulted in an increase of the Tyr146• radical concentration and in a quantitatively similar decrease of the Tyr103• radical concentration. These changes were dependent on the concentration of the added apo-Mb. Thus we show that a radical transfer Tyr103• → Tyr146• occurs and that this reaction is protein concentration dependent. The question whether this radical transfer is inter- or intra-molecular is discussed. A similarity is drawn between the system studied and the sperm whale metMb/H2O2 system, for which the radical transfer Tyr103• → Tyr151• has been previously suggested.

Abstract
Iron(II), added as FeSO4·7H2O, was found to increase the rate of oxygen depletion as detected electrochemically in a pork homogenate from Longissimus dorsi through an initial increase in metmyoglobin formation from oxymyoglobin and followed by formation of primary and secondary lipid oxidation products and protein oxidation as detected as thiol depletion in myofibrillar proteins. Without added iron(II), under the same conditions at 37 °C, oxygen consumption corresponded solely to the slow oxymyoglobin autoxidation. Long-lived myofibrillar protein radicals as detected by ESR spectroscopy in the presence of iron(II) were formed subsequently to oxymyoglobin oxidation, and their level was increased by lipid oxidation when oxygen was completely depleted. Similarly, the time profile for formation of lipid peroxide indicated that oxymyoglobin oxidation initiates both protein oxidation and lipid oxidation.

Abstract
Radical transfer from perferrylmyoglobin to other target species (myofibrillar proteins, MPI) and bovine serum albumin (BSA), extracts from green tea (GTE), maté (ME), and rosemary (RE), and three phenolic compounds, catechin, caffeic acid, and carnosic acid) was investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to determine the concentrations of plant extracts required to protect against protein oxidation. Blocking of MPI thiol groups by N-ethylmaleimide was found to reduce the rate of reaction of MPI with perferrylmyoglobin radicals, signifying the importance of protein thiols as radical scavengers. GTE had the highest phenolic content of the three extracts and was most effective as a radical scavenger. IC50 values indicated that the molar ratio between phenols in plant extract and MPI thiols needs to be >15 in order to obtain efficient protection against protein-to-protein radical transfer in meat. Caffeic acid was found most effective among the plant phenols.

Abstract
Heme oxygenase is responsible for the degradation of a histidine-ligated ferric protoporphyrin IX (Por) to biliverdin, CO, and the free ferrous ion. Described here are studies of tyrosyl radical formation reactions that occur after oxidizing Fe(III)(Por) to Fe(IV)=O(Por(·+)) in human heme oxygenase isoform-1 (hHO-1) and the structurally homologous protein from Corynebacterium diphtheriae (cdHO). Site-directed mutagenesis on hHO-1 probes the reduction of Fe(IV)=O(Por(·+)) by tyrosine residues within 11 Å of the prosthetic group. In hHO-1, Y58· is implicated as the most likely site of oxidation, based on the pH and pD dependent kinetics. The absence of solvent deuterium isotope effects in basic solutions of hHO-1 and cdHO contrasts with the behavior of these proteins in the acidic solution, suggesting that long-range proton-coupled electron transfer predominates over electron transfer.

Abstract
The toxic mechanism of hemoglobin (Hb) under oxidative stress is linked to the formations of highly cytotoxic ferryl species and subsequently heme-to-protein cross-linked derivative of Hb (Hb-X). In this study, we have examined the effects of free tyrosine and its analogues (3-chlorotyrosine, phenylalanine) on the stability of ferryl hemoglobin and the formation of Hb-X. The results showed that free tyrosine (not phenylalanine, 10-500 μM) was an efficient reducing agent of ferryl species and also effective at preventing the formation of cytotoxic Hb-X. Meanwhile, the dimeric tyrosine was formed as the oxidation product of tyrosine during Hb redox reaction. Compared with free tyrosine, 3-chlorotyrosine, an oxidation product of tyrosine and a proposed biomarker for hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in vivo, exhibited stronger antioxidant properties in Hb-induced oxidative stress, which was consistent with its more efficient ability in the reduction of ferryl species. These results showed that the presence of tyrosine and its derivative in vivo and vitro could ameliorate oxidative damage through ferryl heme reduction. The antioxidant ability, therefore, may provide new insights into the nutritional and physiological significance of free tyrosine with redox active heme proteins-related oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Serum albumin binds avidly to heme to form heme-serum albumin complex, also called methemalbumin, and this binding is thought to protect against the potentially toxic effects of heme. However, the mechanism of detoxification has not been fully elucidated. METHODS SDS-PAGE and Western blot were used to determine the efficiency of methemalbumin on catalyzing protein carbonylation and nitration. HPLC was used to test the formation of heme to protein cross-linked methemalbumin. RESULTS The peroxidase activity of heme increased upon human serum albumin (HSA) binding. Methemalbumin showed higher efficiency in catalyzing tyrosine oxidation than free heme in the presence of H2O2. Methemalbumin catalyzed self-nitration and significantly promoted the nitration of tyrosine in coexistent protein, but decreased the carbonylation of coexistent protein compared with heme. The heme to protein cross-linked form of methemalbumin suggested that HSA trapped the free radical accompanied by the formation of ferryl heme. When tyrosine residues in HSA were modified by iodination, HSA lost of protection effect on protein carbonylation. The low concentration of glutathione could effectively inhibit tyrosine nitration, but had no effect on protein carbonylation. CONCLUSION HSA protects against the toxic effect of heme by transferring the free radical to tyrosine residues in HSA, therefore protecting surrounding proteins from irreversible oxidation, rather than by direct inhibiting the peroxidase activity. The increased tyrosine radicals can be reduced by endogenic antioxidants such as GSH. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE This investigation indicated the important role of tyrosine residues in heme detoxification by HSA and suggested a possible novel mechanism.

Abstract
Free radicals and other oxidation products were characterized on α-lactalbumin with electron spin resonance (ESR), immuno-spin trapping, and mass spectrometry (MS) after riboflavin-mediated oxidation. Radicals were detected using the spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) in immuno-spin trapping with both enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting and further characterized with mass spectrometry. A DMPO-trapped radical was identified at His68 and another at one of the tyrosine residues, Tyr50 or Tyr36, respectively, generated by a type II or I mechanism. Not all tyrosyl radicals were trapped, as the secondary oxidation product, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), was detected by mass spectrometry at Tyr18 and Tyr50. A further oxidation of DOPA resulted in the DOPA o-semiquinone radical, which was characterized by ESR. Both surface exposure and the neighboring residues in the local environment of the tertiary structure of α-lactalbumin seem to play a role in the generation of DMPO trapped radicals and secondary oxidation products.

Abstract
The scavenging activity of extracts of green tea (GTE), white grape (WGE), and rosemary (RE), all plant material with high phenolic content, and of the phenolic compounds 4-methylcatechol (4-MC), (+)-catechin, and carnosic acid toward long-lived myosin radicals generated by reaction with H2O2-activated myoglobin at room temperature (pH 7.5, I=1.0) was investigated by freeze-quench ESR spectroscopy. Myosin radicals were generated by incubating 16 μM myosin, 800 μM metmyoglobin, and 800 μM H2O2 for 10 min, and the phenolic extracts were subsequently added (1% (w/w) phenolic compounds relative to myosin). GTE was able to scavenge myosin radicals and reduce the radical intensity by 65%. Furthermore, a low concentration of 4-MC (33 μM) was found to increase the radical concentration when added to the myosin radicals, whereas a higher concentration of 4-MC and catechin (330 μM) was found to scavenge myosin radicals and reduce the overall radical concentration by ∼65%.

Abstract
Lipid oxidation adds to the characteristic flavor of dry-cured products, but the role of protein oxidation in the production of such meats is unknown. Lipid and protein oxidations in biceps femoris (BF) and semimembranosus (SM) muscles were evaluated throughout the production period of Parma ham (0-13 months). Lipid oxidation, determined as primary and secondary lipid oxidation products (POV and TBARS), and protein thiol loss commenced immediately without any lag phase and preceded the initiation of protein radicals and protein carbonyls, which increased after a lag phase of 3 months. TBARS reached a maximum value of 2.5 mg MDA/kg dry matter in SM after 1 month and leveled off at 1 mg MDA/kg dry matter in both SM and BF between 6 and 12 months. Loss in protein thiols proceeded similarly for SM and BF from initial ∼50 to ∼27 nmol/mg protein after 6 months and stayed constant. Gel electrophoresis showed that myosin was lost primarily by proteolytic degradation and not by polymerization through protein disulfides. Overall, oxidation accelerated during the first stages of production but stabilized toward the final stages of maturation.

Abstract
We investigated whether cosupplementation with synthetic tetra-tert-butyl bisphenol (BP) and vitamin C (Vit C) ameliorated oxidative stress and acute kidney injury (AKI) in an animal model of acute rhabdomyolysis (RM). Rats were divided into groups: Sham and Control (normal chow), and BP (receiving 0.12% w/w BP in the diet; 4 weeks) with or without Vit C (100mg/kg ascorbate in PBS ip at 72, 48, and 24h before RM induction). All animals (except the Sham) were treated with 50% v/v glycerol/PBS (6 mL/kg injected into the hind leg) to induce RM. After 24h, urine, plasma, kidneys, and aortae were harvested. Lipid oxidation (assessed as cholesteryl ester hydroperoxides and hydroxides and F(2)-isoprostanes accumulation) increased in the kidney and plasma and this was coupled with decreased aortic levels of cyclic guanylylmonophosphate (cGMP). In renal tissues, RM stimulated glutathione peroxidase (GPx)-4, superoxide dismutase (SOD)-1/2 and nuclear factor kappa-beta (NFκβ) gene expression and promoted AKI as judged by formation of tubular casts, damaged epithelia, and increased urinary levels of total protein, kidney-injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and clusterin. Supplementation with BP±Vit C inhibited the two indices of lipid oxidation, down-regulated GPx-4, SOD1/2, and NF-κβ gene responses and restored aortic cGMP, yet renal dysfunction and altered kidney morphology persisted. By contrast, supplementation with Vit C alone inhibited oxidative stress and diminished cast formation and proteinuria, while other plasma and urinary markers of AKI remained elevated. These data indicate that lipid- and water-soluble antioxidants may differ in terms of their therapeutic impact on RM-induced renal dysfunction.

Abstract
Riboflavin-mediated photo-oxidative damage to protein Tyr residues has been examined to determine whether protein structure influences competing protein oxidation pathways in single proteins and protein mixtures. EPR studies resulted in the detection of Tyr-derived o-semiquione radicals, with this species suggested to arise from oxidation of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). The yield of this radical was lower in samples containing β-casein than in samples containing only globular proteins. Consistent with this observation, the yield of DOPA detected on β-casein was lower than that on two globular proteins, BSA and β-lactoglobulin. In contrast, samples with β-casein gave higher yields of dityrosine than samples containing BSA and β-lactoglobulin. These results indicate that the flexible structure of β-casein favors radical-radical termination of tyrosyl radicals to give dityrosine, whereas the less flexible structure of globular proteins decreases the propensity for tyrosyl radicals to dimerize, with this resulting in higher yields of DOPA and its secondary radical.

Abstract
Application of deuterium sulfide to powdered isolated soy proteins (ISP) was used to quench stable free radicals and produce a single deuterium label on amino acids where free radicals reside. The deuterium labels rendered increases of isotope ratio for the specific ions of radical-bearing amino acids. Isotope ratio measurements were achieved by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analyses after the amino acids were released by acidic hydrolysis and converted to volatile derivatives with propyl chloroformate. The isotope enrichment data showed the stable free radicals were located on Ala, Gly, Leu, Ile, Asx (Asp+Asn), Glx (Glu+Gln), and Trp but not on Val, Pro, Met, Phe, Lys, and His. Due to the low abundance of Ser, Thr, and Cys derivatives and the impossibility to accurately measure their isotope ratios, the radical bearing status for these amino acids remained undetermined even though their derivatives were positively identified from ISP hydrolysates. The relative isotope enrichment for radical-bearing amino acids Ala, Gly, Leu, Ile, Asx (Asp+Asn), Glx (Glu+Gln), and Trp were 8.67%, 2.96%, 2.90%, 3.94%, 6.03%, 3.91%, and 21.48%, respectively. Isotope ratio increase for Tyr was also observed but further investigation revealed such increase was mainly from nonspecific deuterium-hydrogen exchange not free radical quenching. The results obtained from the present study provide important information for a better understanding of the mechanisms of free radical formation and stabilization in "dry" ISP.

Abstract
Proteins containing reactive cysteine residues (protein-Cys) are receiving increased attention as mediators of hydrogen peroxide signaling. These proteins are mainly identified by mining the thiol proteomes of oxidized protein-Cys in cells and tissues. However, it is difficult to determine if oxidation occurs through a direct reaction with hydrogen peroxide or by thiol-disulfide exchange reactions. Kinetic studies with purified proteins provide invaluable information about the reactivity of protein-Cys residues with hydrogen peroxide. Previously, we showed that the characteristic UV-Vis spectrum of horseradish peroxidase compound I, produced from the oxidation of horseradish peroxidase by hydrogen peroxide, is a simple, reliable, and useful tool to determine the second-order rate constant of the reaction of reactive protein-Cys with hydrogen peroxide and peroxynitrite. Here, the method is fully described and extended to quantify reactive protein-Cys residues and micromolar concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. Members of the peroxiredoxin family were selected for the demonstration and validation of this methodology. In particular, we determined the pK(a) of the peroxidatic thiol of rPrx6 (5.2) and the second-order rate constant of its reactions with hydrogen peroxide ((3.4 ± 0.2) × 10⁷M⁻¹ s⁻¹) and peroxynitrite ((3.7 ± 0.4) × 10⁵ M⁻¹ s⁻¹) at pH 7.4 and 25°C.

Abstract
Laccase-catalyzed oxidation was able to induce intermolecular cross-links in beta-lactoglobulin, and ferulic acid-mediated laccase-catalyzed oxidation was able to induce intermolecular cross-links in alpha-casein, whereas transglutaminase cross-linked only alpha-casein. In addition, different patterns of laccase-induced oxidative modifications were detected, including dityrosine formation, formation of fluorescent tryptophan oxidation products, and carbonyls derived from histidine, tryptophan, and methionine. Laccase-catalyzed oxidation as well as transglutaminase induced only minor changes in surface tension of the proteins, and the changes could not be correlated to protein cross-linking. The presence of ferulic acid was found to influence the effect of laccase, allowing laccase to form irreducible intermolecular cross-links in beta-lactoglobulin and resulting in proteins exercising higher surface tensions due to cross-linking as well as other oxidative modifications. The outcome of using ferulic acid-mediated laccase-catalyzed oxidation to modify the functional properties of proteinaceous food components or other biosystems is expected to be highly dependent on the protein composition, resulting in different changes of the functional properties.

Abstract
Oxidation of 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) by lactoperoxidase was found to be inhibited by tyrosine-containing random amino acid copolymers but not by tyrosine. Both electrostatic effects and polymer size were found to be important by comparison of negatively and positively charged copolymers of varying lengths, with poly(Glu, Tyr)4:1 ([E 4Y 1] approximately 40) as the strongest competitive inhibitor (EC 50 approximately 20 nM). This polymer did not form dityrosine in the presence of lactoperoxidase (LPO) and peroxide. Furthermore, incubation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide, as opposed to hydrogen peroxide, resulted in a peculiar long lag phase of the reaction between the redox intermediate compound II and [E 4Y 1] approximately 40, indicating a very tight association between enzyme and inhibitor. We propose that interactions between multiple positively charged areas on the surface of LPO and the polymer are required for optimal inhibition.

Abstract
Rice alpha-oxygenase (RalphaO) catalyzes the insertion of O2 into the Calpha-H bond of various fatty acids. The mechanism is thought to involve a tyrosyl radical as the oxidant on the basis of comparisons to the structurally homologous cyclooxygenase enzymes. Kinetic and spectroscopic results presented here for the wild-type RalphaO and the Tyr379Phe mutant indicate an irreversible H* abstraction mechanism and support the involvement of the proposed catalytic Tyr*. In addition, very large, weakly temperature dependent deuterium kinetic isotope effects (approximately 50) are observed, consistent with extensive nuclear tunneling. RalphaO, thus, presents a novel example where such quantum effects are associated with an amino acid radical-utilizing enzyme.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported that myosin can be modified by oxidative stress and particularly by activated haem proteins. These reactions have been implicated in changes in the properties of this protein in food samples (changes in meat tenderness and palatability), in human physiology (alteration of myocyte function and force generation) and in disease (e.g. cardiomyopathy, chronic heart failure). The oxidant species, mechanisms of reaction and consequences of these reactions are incompletely characterized. In the present study, the nature of the transient species generated on myosin as a result of the reaction with activated haem proteins (horseradish peroxidase/H2O2 and met-myoglobin/H2O2) has been investigated by EPR spectroscopy and amino-acid consumption, product formation has been characterized by HPLC, and changes in protein integrity have been determined by SDS/PAGE. Multiple radical species have been detected by EPR in both the presence and the absence of spin traps. Evidence has been obtained for the presence of thiyl, tyrosyl and other unidentified radical species on myosin as a result of damage-transfer from oxidized myoglobin or horseradish peroxidase. The generation of thiyl and tyrosyl radicals is consistent with the observed consumption of cysteine and tyrosine residues, the detection of di-tyrosine by HPLC and the detection of both reducible (disulfide bond) and non-reducible cross-links between myosin molecules by SDS/PAGE. The time course of radical formation on myosin, product generation and cross-link induction are consistent with these processes being interlinked. These changes are consistent with the altered function and properties of myosin in muscle tissue exposed to oxidative stress arising from disease or from food processing.

Abstract
Films constructed layer-by-layer on electrodes with architecture {protein/hyaluronic acid (HA)}n containing myoglobin (Mb) or horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were protected against protein damage by H2O2 by using outer catalase layers. Peroxidase activity for substrate oxidation requires activation by H2O2, but {protein/HA}n films without outer catalase layers are damaged slowly and irreversibly by H2O2. The rate and extent of damage were decreased dramatically by adding outer catalase layers to decompose H2O2. Comparative studies suggest that protection results from catalase decomposing a fraction of the H2O2 as it enters the film, rather than by an in-film diffusion barrier. The outer catalase layers controlled the rate of H2O2 entry into inner regions of the film, and they biased the system to favor electrocatalytic peroxide reduction over enzyme damage. Catalase-protected {protein/HA}n films had an increased linear concentration range for H2O2 detection. This approach offers an effective way to protect biosensors from damage by H2O2.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine and compare the effects of methemoglobin (metHb) and ferrylhemoglobin (ferrylHb) on the erythrocyte membrane. Kinetic studies of the decay of ferrylhemoglobin (*HbFe(IV)=O denotes ferryl derivative of hemoglobin present 5 min after initiation of the reaction of metHb with H(2)O(2); ferrylHb) showed that autoredecay of this derivative is slower than its decay in the presence of whole erythrocytes and erythrocyte membranes. It provides evidence for interactions between ferrylHb and the erythrocyte membrane. Both hemoglobin derivatives induced small changes in the structure and function of the erythrocyte membrane which were more pronounced for ferrylHb. The amount of ferrylHb bound to erythrocyte membranes increased with incubation time and, after 2 h, was twice that of membrane-bound metHb. The incubation of erythrocytes with metHb or ferrylHb did not influence osmotic fragility and did not initiate peroxidation of membrane lipids in whole erythrocytes as well as in isolated erythrocyte membranes. Membrane acetylcholinesterase activity increased by about 10% after treatment of whole erythrocytes with both metHb and ferrylHb. ESR spectra of membrane-bound maleimide spin label demonstrated minor changes in the conformation of label-binding proteins in ferrylHb-treated erythrocyte membranes. The fluidity of the membrane surface layer decreased slightly after incubation of erythrocytes and isolated erythrocyte membranes with ferrylHb and metHb. In whole erythrocytes, these changes were not stable and disappeared during longer incubation.

Abstract
In this paper, inactivation of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) by products of reactions of H2O2 with metHb has been studied. Inactivation of the enzyme was studied in two systems corresponding to two kinetic stages of the reaction. In the first system H2O2 was added to the mixture of metHb and ADH [the (metHb+ADH)+H2O2] system (ADH was present in the system since the moment of addition of H2O2 i. e. since the very beginning of the reaction of metHb with H2O2). In the second system ADH was added to the system 5 min after the initiation of the reaction of H2O2 with metHb [the (metHb+H2O2)5 min+ADH] system. In the first case all the products of reaction of H2O2 with metHb (non-peroxyl and peroxyl radicals and non-radical products, viz. hydroperoxides and *HbFe(IV)=O) could react with the enzyme causing its inactivation. In the second system, enzyme reacted almost exclusively with non-radical products (though a small contribution of reactions with peroxyl radicals cannot be excluded). ADH inactivation was observed in both system. Hydrogen peroxide alone did not inactivate ADH at the concentrations employed evidencing that enzyme inactivation was due exclusively to products of reaction of H2O2 with metHb. The rate and extent of ADH inactivation were much higher in the first than in the second system. The dependence of ADH activity on the time of incubation with ferryl derivatives of Hb can be described by a sum of three exponentials in the first system and two exponentials in the second system. Reactions of appropriate forms of the ferryl derivatives of hemoglobin have been tentatively ascribed to these exponentials. The extent of the enzyme inactivation in the second system was dependent on the proton concentration, being at the highest at pH 7.4 and negligible at pH 6.0. The reaction of H2O2 with metHb resulted in the formation of cross-links of Hb subunits (dimers and trimers). The amount of the dimers formed was much lower in the first system i. e. when the radical forms dominated the reaction of inactivation.

Abstract
Iso-1-cytochrome c, as any other hemeprotein, is able to react with hydrogen peroxide and to engage in the peroxidase cycle. However, peroxidases are irreversibly inactivated by their substrate, hydrogen peroxide. The oxidative inactivation of hemeproteins is mechanism based and arises as the consequence of unproductive electron abstraction reactions. Protein elements, such as the porphyrin ring or the protein backbone, act as simultaneous and competing electron sources even in the presence of exogenous reducing substrates, leading to a decline in activity. It is hypothetically possible to alter the intramolecular electron transfer pathways by direct replacement of low redox potential residues around the active site; as a consequence, the inactivation process would be delayed or even suppressed. To demonstrate this hypothesis, a redox-inspired strategy was implemented until an iso-1-cytochrome c variant fully stable at catalytic concentrations of hydrogen peroxide was obtained. This variant, harboring the N52I,W59F,Y67F,K79A,F82G substitutions, preserved the catalytic performance of the parental protein but achieved a 15-fold higher total-turnover number. The phenotype of this variant was reflected in the stability of its electronic components, allowing identification of a protein-based radical intermediate mechanistically similar to Compound I of classical peroxidases. The results presented here clearly demonstrate that redox-inspired protein engineering is a useful tool for the rational modulation of intramolecular electron transfer networks.

Abstract
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin trapping was originally developed to aid the detection of low-molecular-mass radicals formed in chemical systems. It has subsequently found widespread use in biology and medicine for the direct detection of radical species formed during oxidative stress and via enzymatic reactions. Over the last 15 years this technique has also found increasing use in detecting and identifying radicals formed on biological macromolecules as a result of either radical reactions or enzymatic processes. Though the EPR signals that result from the trapping of large, slowly tumbling radicals are often broad and relatively poor in distinctive features, a number of techniques have been developed that allow a wealth of information to be obtained about the nature, site, and reactions of such radicals. This article summarizes recent developments in this area and reviews selected examples of radical formation on proteins.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a probe for the oxidation of proteins by hypervalent myoglobin species in solutions with pH from 5.3 to 7.7. The reaction between perferrylmyoglobin, *MbFe(IV)=O, and BSA was studied by activating metmyoglobin with equimolar amounts of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of BSA. A minor pH dependence was observed as judged from the formation of BSA-centered radicals, which were monitored at room temperature by electron spin resonance spectroscopy, and the formation of dityrosine. The reaction between ferrylmyoglobin, MbFe(IV)=O, and BSA was pH-dependent. BSA-centered radicals and dityrosine were formed in low levels at neutral pH and increased at low pH to the same levels as observed in the reaction of *MbFe(IV)=O with BSA. The present results demonstrate that protein-centered radicals can be formed from the non-radical MbFe(IV)=O under mildly acidic conditions, and this should be taken into account when considering oxidation in cellular compartments of low pH and in meat-related products.

Abstract
To investigate the involvement of a hemoglobin radical in the human oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb) or metHb/H2O2 system, we have used a new approach called "immuno-spin trapping," which combines the specificity and sensitivity of both spin trapping and antigen:antibody interactions. Previously, a novel rabbit polyclonal anti-DMPO nitrone adduct antiserum, which specifically recognizes protein radical-derived nitrone adducts, was developed and validated in our laboratory. In the present study, the formation of nitrone adducts on hemoglobin was shown to depend on the oxidation state of the iron heme, the concentrations of H2O2 and DMPO, and time as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and by Western blotting. The presence of reduced glutathione or L-ascorbate significantly decreased the level of nitrone adducts on metHb in a dose-dependent manner. To confirm the ELISA results, Western blotting analysis showed that only the complete system (oxy- or metHb/DMPO/H2O2) generates epitopes recognized by the antiserum. The specific modification of tyrosine residues on metHb by iodination nearly abolished antibody binding, while the thiylation of cysteine residues caused a small but reproducible decrease in the amount of nitrone adducts. These findings strongly suggest that tyrosine residues are the site of formation of the immunochemically detectable hemoglobin radical-derived nitrone adducts. In addition, we were able to demonstrate the presence of hemoglobin radical-derived nitrone adducts inside red blood cells exposed to H2O2 and DMPO. In conclusion, our new approach showed several advantages over EPR spin trapping with the anti-DMPO nitrone adduct antiserum by demonstrating the formation of tyrosyl radical-derived nitrone adduct(s) in human oxyHb/metHb at much lower concentrations than was possible with EPR and detecting radicals inside RBC exposed to H2O2.

Abstract
The present study investigates the reactivity of bovine serum albumin (BSA) radicals towards different biomolecules (urate, linoleic acid, and a polypeptide, poly(Glu-Ala-Tyr)). The BSA radical was formed at room temperature through a direct protein-to-protein radical transfer from H(2)O(2)-activated immobilized horseradish peroxidase (im-HRP). Subsequently, each of the three different biomolecules was separately added to the BSA radicals, after removal of im-HRP by centrifugation. Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy showed that all three biomolecules quenched the BSA radicals. Subsequent analysis showed a decrease in the concentration of urate upon reaction with the BSA radical, while the BSA radical in the presence of poly(Glu-Ala-Tyr) resulted in increased formation of the characteristic protein oxidation product, dityrosine. Reaction between the BSA radical and a linoleic acid oil-in-water emulsion resulted in additional formation of lipid hydroperoxides and conjugated dienes. The results clearly show that protein radicals have to be considered as dynamic species during oxidative processes in biological systems and that protein radicals should not be considered as end-products, but rather as reactive intermediates during oxidative processes in biological systems hereby supporting recent data.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide activation of MMb with and without the presence of BSA gave rise to rapid formation of hyper-valent myoglobin species, myoglobin ferryl radical (*MbFe(IV) = O) and/or ferrylmyoglobin (MbFe(IV) = O). Reduction of MbFe(IV) = O showed first-order kinetics for a 1-2 times stoichiometric excess of H2O2 to MMb while a 3-10 times stoichiometric excess of H2O2 resulted in a biphasic reaction pattern. Radical species formed in the reaction between MMb, H2O2 and BSA were influenced by [H2O2] as measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and resulted in the formation of cross-linking between BSA and myoglobin which was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and subsequent amino acid sequencing. Moreover, dityrosine was formed in the initial phases of the reaction for all concentrations of H2O2. However, initially formed dityrosine was subsequently utilized in reactions employing stoichiometric excess of H2O2 to MMb. The observed breakdown of dityrosine was ascribed to additional radical species formed from the interaction between H2O2 and the hyper-valent iron-center of H2O2-activated MMb.

Abstract
The H(2)O(2)-dependent reaction of lactoperoxidase (LPO) with sperm whale myoglobin (SwMb) or horse myoglobin (HoMb) produces LPO-Mb cross-linked species, in addition to LPO and SwMb homodimers. The HoMb products are a LPO(HoMb) dimer and LPO(HoMb)(2) trimer. Dityrosine cross-links are shown by their fluorescence to be present in the oligomeric products. Addition of H(2)O(2) to myoglobin (Mb), followed by catalase to quench excess H(2)O(2) before the addition of LPO, still yields LPO cross-linked products. LPO oligomerization therefore requires radical transfer from Mb to LPO. In contrast to native LPO, recombinant LPO undergoes little self-dimerization in the absence of Mb but occurs normally in its presence. Simultaneous addition of 3,5-dibromo-4-nitrosobenzenesulfonic acid (DBNBS) and LPO to activated Mb produces a spin-trapped radical electron paramagnetic resonance signal located primarily on LPO, confirming the radical transfer. Mutation of Tyr-103 or Tyr-151 in SwMb decreased cross-linking with LPO, but mutation of Tyr-146, Trp-7, or Trp-14 did not. However, because DBNBS-trapped LPO radicals were observed with all the mutants, DBNBS traps LPO radicals other than those involved in protein oligomerization. The results clearly establish that radical transfer occurs from Mb to LPO and suggest that intermolecularly transferred radicals may reside on residues other than those that are generated by intramolecular reactions.

Abstract
The reaction of hydrogen peroxide H(2)O(2) with horse heart metmyoglobin (HH metMb), sperm whale metmyoglobin (SW metMb) and human metHb (metHbA) was studied at pH 6-8 by low temperature (10 K) EPR spectroscopy with the emphasis on the peroxyl radicals formed during the reaction. The same type of peroxyl radical was found in both myoglobin systems, as was concluded from close similarities in the spectroscopic properties of the radicals and in their kinetic dependences. This is consistent with previous reports of the peroxyl radical being localised on the Trp14 of SW and HH myoglobins. There are two types of peroxyl radical found in the metHbA/H(2)O(2) system, one (ROO-I) having spectral parameters, kinetic and pH dependences similar to those of the peroxyl radical found in both myoglobin systems. The other peroxyl radical (ROO-II) found in metHbA treated with H(2)O(2) has slightly different, though distinguishable, spectral parameters and a significantly different kinetic dependence as compared to those of the peroxyl radical common for all three proteins studied (ROO-I). The concentration of ROO-I radical formed in the three proteins on addition of H(2)O(2) correlates with the effectiveness of incorporating molecular oxygen into styrene oxide reported before for these three proteins. It is shown that a different distance from Trp14 to haem iron in the three proteins might be the structural basis for the different yield of the peroxyl radical and the different efficiency of incorporation of molecular oxygen into styrene. The site of the peroxyl radical found only in metHbA (ROO-II) is speculated to be the Trp37 residue of the beta-subunit of HbA.

Abstract
The oxidation of proteins by free radicals is thought to play a major role in many oxidative processes within cells and is implicated in a number of human diseases as well as ageing. This review summarises information on the formation of radicals on peptides and proteins and how radical damage may be propagated and transferred within protein structures. The emphasis of this article is primarily on the deleterious actions of radicals generated on proteins, and their mechanisms of action, rather than on enzymatic systems where radicals are deliberately formed as transient intermediates. The final section of this review examines the control of protein oxidation and how such damage might be limited by antioxidants.

Abstract
Three distinct antioxidant pathways are considered through which iron-catalyzed oxidative stress may be regulated by nitric oxide (NO). The first two pathways involve direct redox interactions of NO with iron catalytic sites and represent a fast response that may be considered an emergency mechanism to protect cells from the consequences of acute and intensive oxidative stress. These are (i) NO-induced nitrosylation at heme and non-heme iron catalytic sites that is capable of directly reducing oxoferryl-associated radicals, (ii) formation of nitrosyl complexes with intracellular "loosely" bound redox-active iron, and (iii) an indirect regulatory pathway that may function as an adaptive mechanism that becomes operational upon long-term exposure of cells to NO. In the latter pathway, NO down-regulates expression of iron-containing proteins to prevent their catalytic prooxidant reactions.

Abstract
The reaction between lactoperoxidase (LPO) and H(2)O(2) in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA), beta-lactoglobulin, or casein was investigated for the formation of protein radicals by freeze-quench electron spin resonance (ESR) and by the formation of the protein oxidation product, dityrosine. The presence of BSA resulted in a dramatic change after 1 min of reaction in the obtained ESR spectrum compared with the spectrum obtained for LPO and H(2)O(2) alone. Furthermore, experiments employing BSA or beta-lactoglobulin resulted in the formation of long-lived protein radicals detectable 10 min after initiation of the reaction. The presence of casein resulted in a minor change in the fine structure of the ESR spectrum after 1 min of reaction compared with LPO and H(2)O(2) alone, but no difference between the two reaction mixtures could be observed after 10 min of reaction. The formation of dityrosine could be detected in reaction mixtures containing LPO and H(2)O(2) after 1 and 10 min of incubation at 25 degrees C both in the absence and in the presence of BSA, beta-lactoglobulin, or casein. The presence of casein resulted in an increased dityrosine concentration compared with the reaction with LPO and H(2)O(2) alone. Endogenous LPO in unpasteurized milk was activated at 25 degrees C by adding 1 mM H(2)O(2). Radical species could be detected directly in the milk by freeze-quench ESR during the initial phase of the reaction, and dityrosine could be measured after 4 h of incubation. The role of LPO activity in the formation of ESR detectable radical species and dityrosine in milk was further verified in ultrahigh temperature (UHT) milk with no endogenous enzyme activity, as the formation of ESR detectable radical species and dityrosine took place in UHT milk only upon the addition of both H(2)O(2) and exogenous LPO.
