Determination of carbonyl content in oxidatively modified proteins.
Rodney L. Levine,Donita Garland,Cynthia N. Oliver,Adolfo Amici,Isabel Climent,Anke-G. Lenz,Bong-Whan Ahn,Shmuel Shaltiel,Earl R. Stadtman +8 more
TL;DR: This chapter discusses methods to determine carbonyl content in oxidatively modified proteins and quantitated protein-bound pyruvoyl groups through formation of a Schiff base with p-aminobenzoic acid followed by reduction with cyanoborohydride.

Carbonyl assays for determination of oxidatively modified proteins
TL;DR: New methods for determination ofcarbonyl content are presented, which are based on the reaction of carbonyl groups with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine to form a 2, 4-d Initrophenolhydrazone, which provide substantial improvements in both sensitivity and specificity.

Free radical-mediated oxidation of free amino acids and amino acid residues in proteins.
TL;DR: It is evident that the cyclic oxidation and reduction of the sulfur-containing amino acids may serve as an important antioxidant mechanism, and also that these reversible oxidations may provide an important mechanism for the regulation of some enzyme functions.

Methionine residues as endogenous antioxidants in proteins
TL;DR: This work proposes that methionine residues constitute an important antioxidant defense mechanism, and investigates the effect of hydrogen peroxide exposure upon glutamine synthetase from Escherichia coli as an in vitro model system.

Detection and characterization of the product of hydroethidine and intracellular superoxide by HPLC and limitations of fluorescence
Hongtao Zhao,Joy Joseph,Henry M. Fales,Edward A. Sokoloski,Rodney L. Levine,Jeannette Vasquez-Vivar,Balaraman Kalyanaraman +6 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the fluorescence characteristics of ethidium (E(+)) and 2-OH-E(+) strongly suggests that the currently available fluorescence methodology is not suitable for quantitating intracellular O(2)(.-).
