Gazarian IG, Lagrimini LM: Anaerobic stopped-flow studies of indole-3-acetic acid oxidation by dioxygen catalysed by horseradish C and anionic tobacco peroxidase at neutral pH: catalase effect. Biophys Chem. 1998 Jun 9;72(3):231-7.
The effect of order of reagent mixing in the absence and in the presence of catalase on the transient kinetics of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) oxidation by dioxygen catalysed by horseradish peroxidase C and anionic tobacco peroxidase at neutral pH has been studied. The data suggest that haem-containing plant peroxidases are able to catalyse the reaction in the absence of exogenous hydroperoxide. The initiation proceeds via the formation of the ternary complex enzyme--> IAA--> oxygen responsible for IAA primary radical generation. The horseradish peroxidase-catalysed reaction is independent of catalase indicating a significant contribution of free radical processes into the overall mechanism. This is in contrast to the tobacco peroxidase-catalysed reaction where the peroxidase cycle plays an important role. The transient kinetics of IAA oxidation catalysed by tobacco peroxidase exhibits a biphasic character with the first phase affected by catalase. The first phase is therefore associated with the common peroxidase cycle while the second is ascribed to native enzyme interaction with skatole peroxy radicals yielding directly Compound II. |
