چکیده

In the presence of MnCl2 and a thiol (glutathione, cysteine, 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoic acid) horse radish peroxidase oxidizes p-hydroquinone to p-benzoquinone which in turn immediately adds the thiol present yielding 2-S-substituted p-hydroquinone.

Synthesis, Structure and Catalytic Performance of N4-Macrocycles of Fe III and Co II for Oxidation of Hydroquinone

Macrocycles and p-benzoquinones (p-BQ) have been generally connected as potential co-synergist redox models in aerobic oxidation. To get insight for the synergist oxidation of hydroquinones (H2Q), thus, we synthesized and characterized dibenzotetraaza [14]annulene type macrocycles of FeIII and CoII metal ions and described by utilizing different examinations inc...

The oxidation of reduced pyridine nucleotides by peroxidase.

A soluble enzyme system which catalyzes the aerobic oxidation of reduced pyridine nucleotides in wheat germ has previously been described (1). Peroxidase was shown to be a component of this system. Later, Humphreys (2) demonstrated that Mn+ and an unidentified cofactor were required for aerobic oxidation of TPNH’ in crude preparations of malic enzyme from wheat germ. Although no attempt was mad...

The oxidation of tyramine, tyrosine, and related compounds by peroxidase.

Horse-radish peroxidase in the presence of hydrogen peroxide has been reported to act directly upon tyrosine, tryptophan, and cystine, but no reaction products have thus far been identified (I). Tyrosine is of special interest since it has been suggested (1, 2) that the inactivation of certain biologically active proteins by peroxidase depends in part upon oxidation of tyrosyl groups present in...

Paradoxical actions of antioxidants in the oxidation of low density lipoprotein by peroxidases.

Oxidation of LDL by peroxidases has been suggested to be a model for in vivo oxidation. The mechanism might involve the generation of an intermediate radical such as a phenoxy radical. We show that, in contrast to the oxidation of LDL by copper, oxidation by peroxidase system (H2O2/horse radish peroxidase) showed less resistance. This suggested that either the antioxidants were consumed more ra...
