Abstract
Studies on model systems clearly revealed oxidative degradation of tryptophan under the usual conditions of iodination of tyrosine residues in peptides, whereby the rate of former reaction was found to be faster than the iodination itself. Nin-formylation of tryptophan brings about an efficient indole protection against this oxidative degradation.
