[Oxidative modification of human serum proteins. A method of determining it]
Abstract:
A rate of protein oxidative destruction may be estimated from the reaction of the resultant carbonyl derivatives of amino acids reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine. The procedure for estimation of 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazones was modified for clinical application. The initiating effect of nonenzymatic components (Fe(3+)-ascorbic acid, Fe(2+)-O2, Fe(2+)-H2O2) was in the metal-catalyzing oxidation of proteins. Estimation of derivatives of 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazones in tissues may serve as a pattern of protein oxidative modification during oxidative stress in the body.

Protein Modifications in the RER
Broadly, these modifications can be categorized into four main categories — glycosylation, formation of disulfide bonds, assembly of protein subunits, and specific proteolytic cleavages like removal of signal sequences.
Oxidations of Aldehydes and Ketones to Carboxylic Acids
Aldehydes readily undergo oxidation in strong oxidizing agents such as potassium permanganate and chromic acid. The oxidation can also be carried out using mild oxidizing agents such as silver oxide. In fact, aldehydes can be easily oxidized...
Oxidation of Phenols to Quinones
o-hydroxy phenols are oxidized to o-quinones and p-hydroxy phenols to p-quinones. Such redox reactions involve the transfer of two electrons and two protons. The reversible redox property is crucial in...
