Descripción
The oxidation of methionine is an important reaction in the biological milieu. Despite a few decades of intense studies, several fundamental aspects remain to be defined. We have investigated in detail the γ-radiolysis of free methionine in the absence and presence of molecular oxygen followed by product characterization and quantification. The primary site of attack by HO• radicals and H• atoms is the sulfur atom of methionine. We have disclosed that HO• radicals do not oxidize methionine to the corresponding sulfoxide in either the presence or the absence of oxygen; the oxidizing species is H2O2 derived either from the radiolysis of water or from the disproportionation of the byproduct O2•−. 3-Methylthiopropionaldehyde is the major product of HO• radical attack in the presence of molecular oxygen. Together with the direct oxidation at sulfur as the major product, the potential of H• atoms is also proven to be highly specific for sulfur atom attack under anoxic and aerobic conditions. The major products derived from the H• atoms attack are found to be α-aminobutyric acid or homoserine, in the absence or presence of oxygen, respectively. All together, these results help clarify the fate of methionine related to a biological environment and offer a molecular basis for envisaging other possible pathways of in vivo degradation as well as other markers.
