Popis: The sequential copolymer (Pro-Gly-Pro)∼12 was hydroxylated in an 18O2 atmosphere with a partially purified preparation of collagen proline hydroxylase. Mass spectral analysis demonstrated the incorporation of one atom of 18O into hydroxyproline and one atom into succinic acid. Since the enzyme produces equal amounts of peptidyl hydroxyproline and succinate these findings strongly suggest that one molecule of O2 takes part in the simultaneous oxygenation of peptidyl proline and α-keto-glutarate. A possible mechanism for this reaction is presented.
