[Selectivity of lysozyme oxidation by singlet oxygen].
Peptide analysis of tryptic hydrolysates of two lysozyme forms derived from oxidation of lysozyme with singlet oxygen shows that Trp-62, located at the active site, is destroyed. This is confirmed by the protective effect of the substrate (chitin), whose presense practically prevents the oxidation. A possibility of oxidating different tryptophan residues is discussed from the view-point of their availability to the reagent.
