Application

For cleavage of tryptophanyl peptide bonds.

Biochem/physiol Actions

2-Iodosobenzoic acid (IBA) may be used to study enzyme structure and activity. IBA is used as an oxidant which oxidizes vicinal sulfhydryls to disulfides (cysteine residues) within enzymes leading to their inactivation or conformational changes. IBA is also used to cleave tryptophanyl peptide bonds.

The active form of protein B2, the small subunit of ribonucleotide reductase from E. Coli, contains a binuclear non heme iron center and a tyrosyl radical. MetB2 is an inactive form that lacks the radical but retains the Fe(III) center.
