Intramolecular Hydrogen Transfer Reactions of Thiyl Radicals from Glutathione: Formation of Carbon-Centered Radical at Glu, Cys, and Gly
文摘
Glutathione thiyl radicals (GS鈥?/sup>) were generated in H2O and D2O by either exposure of GSH to AAPH, photoirradiation of GSH in the presence of acetone, or photoirradiation of GSSG. Detailed interpretation of the fragmentation pathways of deuterated GSH and GSH derivatives during mass spectrometry analysis allowed us to demonstrate that reversible intramolecular H-atom transfer reactions between GS鈥?/sup> and C鈥揌 bonds at Cys[伪C], Cys[尾C], and Gly[伪C] are possible.
