Abstract

The Ca 2+ activated gelsolin structure was investigated for hydroxyl radical using synchrotron x-ray radiolysis and mass spectrometry. Inactivated and activated forms of gelsolin were exposed to a synchrotron light for 20-160 millisecond, and irradiated protein solutions were subjected to proteolysis. Dose response profiles for oxidized peptides in the absence and presence of Ca 2+ were constructed. Hydroxyl radicals, produced by radiolysis with synchrotron radiation, resulted in the efficient oxidation of aromatic and sulfur-containing amino acids of gelsolin protein in proportion to their solvent accessibility.
