The iron-binding ability of apotransferrins is rapidly abolished in the reaction with periodate anions, which destroys 4 mol of tyrosine per mol of protein. Treatment of ovotransferrin with cyanogen bromide and tryptic digestion of the glycopeptide fragment demonstrated the existence of an intramolecular cross-link in the C-terminal domain of the oxidized protein. The cross-linked residues were identified as Tyr-421 and Tyr-524 and the product is similar in structure to 3,3'-dityrosine.
脱铁转铁蛋白与高碘酸根阴离子反应时,其铁结合能力迅速丧失,该反应每摩尔蛋白质会破坏4摩尔酪氨酸。用溴化氰处理卵转铁蛋白并对糖肽片段进行胰蛋白酶消化,结果表明氧化蛋白的C端结构域存在分子内交联。交联的残基被鉴定为Tyr-421和Tyr-524,产物的结构与3,3'-二酪氨酸相似。
