Methionine residues in the structure of proteins and peptides are especially sensitive to
oxidation by hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) yielding both the (R) and (S) diastereomers of
methionine sulfoxide. This commentary shows that both diastereomers of methionine
sulfoxide (R and S) can be repaired in the human epidermis by methionine sulfoxide
reductases A and B, respectively.
