Double oxidation of Trp PSI-MOD dihydroxy O 2 C 11 H 10 N 2 O 3 MOD:00464 W Dioxidation From DeltaMass: References:Willy V. Bienvenut, Catherine Déon, Carla Pasquarello, Jennifer M.

Proteomics 2002, 2, 868-876 Notes: A double oxidation of tryptophan for which the N-formylkynurenine (+32) structure can be proposed. Many minor peaks accompanying the main peak might also be attributed to other oxidation products of the tryptophan such as kynurenine (+4), an unknown by-product found in all oxidized tryptophan patterns (+13), hydroxytryptophan (+16), 3-hydroxykynurenine (+20) and hydroxy-N-formylkynurenine (+48).
