1 The reactivity of the endogenous antioxidants ascorbate, ergothioneine, and urate toward the high oxidation state of sperm whale myoglobin, ferrylmyoglobin-formed upon oxidation of metmyoglobin by H2O2--was evaluated by optical spectroscopy and SDS-PAGE analysis. Ergothioneine myoglobin Physeter catodon
2 The dimeric form of sperm whale myoglobin--separated from the monomeric form by gel electrophoresis of a solution in which ergothioneine was added to preformed ferrylmyoglobin--revealed optical spectral properties in the visible region identical to that of the modified myoglobin. Ergothioneine myoglobin Physeter catodon
