A metal-binding amino acid, His31, was responsible for Trp50 oxidation of Fab induced by peroxides in PS20 present in the protein formulation. Oxidation was induced by autocatalytic degradation of PS20 and could be inhibited by antioxidants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
