Effect of glyoxal modification on a critical arginine residue (Arg-31 α) of hemoglobin: physiological implications of advanced glycated end product.
CONCLUSION: Increased level of glyoxal in diabetes mellitus as well as its high reactivity may cause modifications of the heme protein. Thus, considering the significance of glyoxal-induced protein modification under physiological conditions, the observation appears clinically relevant in terms of understanding hydroimidazolone-mediated protein modification under in vivo conditions.
