Key steps in the elaboration of the procedure are (1) identification of a peroxidase, from Arthromyces ramosus, that catalyzes dityrosine production in proteins that are not acted on by other common peroxidases, (2) monitoring of the intrinsic fluorescence of dityrosine to determine optimum reaction conditions, achieved with calmodulin in solutions containing boric acid-sodium borate (concentration > or = 0.2 M), approximately pH 8.3, approximately 40 degrees C, and (3) quenching of the reaction with reduced glutathione.

The fluorescence of dityrosyl calmodulin (0 Ca2+) also responds to the addition of boric acid, giving K1 = 42 mM and K2 = 2 mM.
