During the course of protein modi. cation program, we employed a recombinant aequorin, the apo-protein reconstituted with coelenterazine, and found out that the photolytic hyperperoxide modified three S-SCH2CHOHCHOHCH2SH groups to -S-SCH2CHOHCH = CH-S = O) H or -S-SCH2CHOHCH = CH-S(= O)OH of terminal DTT connected to cysteine residues of the C-145, C-152 and C-180, which turned out to locate near the chromophore.
