Popis: The oxidation of methionine residues in recombinant methionyl human granulocyte colony stimulating factor with hydrogen peroxide has been investigated. Kinetic data of the oxidation were obtained by using reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography. The stability-indicating capability of this system was confirmed with micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography. In the pH range 1.9–7.5, the k obs value for the oxidation process is constant. Above pH 7.5, k obs tends to increase with increasing pH. In the pH range 1.9–11.8, four oxidation products were detected in RP-HPLC. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that one mono-, one di- and two trioxidation products were formed. Using the cyanogen bromide cleavage method the nature of the oxidation products was determined. The mono-oxidation product is the protein with Met 121 oxidized, while the dioxidation product has oxidized Met 121 and Met 126 residues. The trioxidation products are the proteins with Met 121 , Met 126 and Met 137 or Met 0 , Met 121 and Met 126 oxidized.
