The starting substrate for the invitro deimination was the component-1 isomer of human MBP. This isomer when isolated from white matter does not contain citrulline. The protein was treated with PAD2 and PAD4 subjected to trypsinization and peptides identified by mass spectrometry.

The underlined red R (R107) in the GRG sequence is the site of deimination and methylation. Extensive treatment with either PAD2 or PAD4 did not remove monomethyl or dimethyl groups from R107.
