Purpose. The validity of using chloramine- T as a model compound for mimicing oxidative stress was examined using human serum albumin ( HSA) as a model. Important sites of oxidation were studied by mild treatment with chloramine- T and by mutating (34)Cys for a serine ( C34S).Methods. High- performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC) combined with fluorescence detection to confirm the validity of chloramine-T as an oxidizing agent was used. Oxidized amino acid residues were detected by reaction with 5,5 '- dithiobis( 2- nitro benzoic acid), digestion with cyanogen bromide, followed by capillary electrophoresis. Protein conformation was examined by spectroscopic techniques.Results. From the HPLC analysis of human serum, the validity of using chloramine- T as an oxidizing agent was confirmed. At low chloramine-T concentrations ( CT0.1- HSA, CT1- HSA), (34)Cys and Met residues were oxidized, at medium concentrations ( CT10- HSA), the tryptophan residue also appeared to be oxidized, and at the highest concentration ( CT50- HSA), the net charge of Site II of HSA was found to be more negative. The two highest levels of oxidation of HSA ( CT10- HSA, CT50- HSA) resulted in conformational changes with an increased exposure of hydrophobic regions, decreased high-affinity bindings of warfarin and ketoprofen and a reduced esterase-like activity. The latter protein also has a shorter plasma half- life and an increased liver clearance.Conclusions. We succeeded in imitating oxidative damage to HSA using chloramine- T and the findings show that Site II is more affected than Site I and (34)Cys, when HSA is exposed to oxidative stress.
