The kinetics of oxidation of zero-valent mercury by the horseradish peroxidase system are reported. The reaction is first order in mercury and first order in peroxidase compound 1, and appear to obey these kinetics to completion of the reaction. The second order rate constant is 8.58 × 105 M−1 min−1 at 23 °C. The data are consistent with a simple two-electron transfer from mercury to the iron–heme system of peroxidase with the enzyme acting as a chemical oxidant that is continually being regenerated by reaction with hydrogen peroxide.

Despite the importance of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in initiating oxidative damage and its connection to various diseases, the detection of low concentrations of H2O2 (<10 μM) is still limited using current methods, particularly in non-aqueous systems.
