Photo-induced fragmentation of tyrosine side chains in IgG4-Fc: Effect of protein sequence, conformation and glycan structure

This account summarizes recent work on photo-induced side chain cleavage reactions of Tyr in IgG4-Fc. These processes are initiated via photo-ionization of Trp to a Trp radical cation, followed by one-electron oxidation of Tyr to a Tyr radical cation, where fragmentation of the Cα-Cβ bond leads to a...
