Abstract
Whereas tryptophan radicals oxidise tyrosine over a wide range of pH values, the one-electron reduction potential of the electron-deficient tryptophan radical at pH 7 is only 0.093 V more positive than that of the corresponding tyrosine radical, so that the reaction proceeds in reverse in strongly acid and alkaline solution.Keywords
