The electro-oxidation mechanism of free methionine and bound within different peptide sequences was investigated by voltammetry, at glassy carbon electrode, and mass spectrometry. It is proposed that the electro-oxidation of free methionine occurs in two steps, each involving the transfer of one electron and turns pH-independent from mild acid to mild alkaline electrolytes. The first oxidation reaction leads to the formation of a cation radical stabilized either through the amino group resulting in the dehydromethionine intermediate, or by interaction with a neutral methionine molecule leading to production of a dimer cationic radical. The dehydromethionine hydrolysis gave methionine sulfoxide as final oxidation product, whereas a future oxidation of methionine dimer cation radical, i.e. the second electro-oxidation step, results in a methionine dimer dication. Moreover, at high acid media, the protonated amino group influence the electro-oxidation process to take place via proton transfer mechanism. The presence of methionine sulfoxide and of the dimer cationic radical as oxidation products of methionine was confirmed by mass spectroscopy.
