1 Human neutrophils and the MPO system were about 10 times more efficient in decarboxylating alanine than methionine. Methionine myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
2 The fraction of methionine decarboxylated by human neutrophils or the MPO system was small compared to the fraction which was oxidized to methionine sulfoxide. Methionine myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
3 Thus methionine was preferentially oxidized to methionine sulfoxide by the MPO system. Methionine myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
4 However, once methionine was oxidized to methionine sulfoxide, it was readily decarboxylated by the MPO system. Methionine myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
