| 1 | Tryptophan fluorescence decreased exponentially with increasing time of UV exposure and peptides containing residues 1-11 of alpha A-crystallin and 1-11, 12-22 and 57-69 of alpha B-crystallin were determined to be oxidized by shifts of 16 D or multiples of 16 Da above the mass of the unmodified peptide. | Tryptophan | crystallin alpha B | Bos taurus |
| 2 | The specific sites of photooxidation indicate that the N-terminal regions of alpha A- and alpha B-crystallin are exposed to an aqueous environment and are in the vicinity of tryptophan residues from neighboring subunits. | Tryptophan | crystallin alpha B | Bos taurus |
