title: Methionine sulfoxide formation: the cause of self-inactivation of reticulocyte lipoxygenase.
abstract: Under conditions leading to inactivation of reticulocyte lipoxygenase by 13LS-hydroperoxylinoleic acid a single methionine, presumably in the active center of the enzyme, is oxidized to methionine sulfoxide.
