The kinetics of the formation of the primary lactoperoxidase – hydrogen peroxide compound (compound I) at 25 °C have been studied over the pH range 3.0–10.8 by steady state methods. The second-order rate constant k1 is pH-independent over the pH region investigated, having a value of (9.2 ± 0.9) × 106M−1s−1. An anomalous effect of formate buffer on the kinetics of the formation of compound I is reported.

Oxidation of Ni2+,aq, by S2O82- to nickel(IV) in the presence of molybdate ion, as in the analogous manganese system, involves the formation of the soluble heteropolymolybdate anion [MMogO32]2- (M = Ni, Mn ). The nickel(IV) product crystallized as (NH4)6 [NiMogO32].6H2O from the reaction mixture in the rhombohedra1 space group R3, a 15.922(1), c 12.406(1) � ; the structure was determined by X-ray diffraction methods, and refined to a residual of 0.025 for 1741 independent 'observed' reflections. The kinetics of the oxidation were examined at 80 C over the pH range 3.0-5.2; a linear dependence on [S2O82-] and a non-linear dependence on l/[H+] were observed. The influence of variation of the Ni/Mo ratio between 1:10 and 1:25 on the observed rate constant was very small at pH 4.5, a result supporting the view that the precursor exists as the known [NiMo6O24H6]4- or a close analogue in solution. The pH dependence of the observed rate constant at a fixed oxidant concentration (0.025 mol dm-3) fits dequately to the expression kobs = kH [H+]/(Ka+[H+]) where kH = 0.0013 dm3 mol-1 s-1 and Ka = 4-0x10-5. The first-order dependence on peroxodisulfate subsequently yields a second-order rate constant of 0.042 dm3 mol-1 s-1. Under analogous conditions, oxidation of manganese(II) occurs eightfold more slowly than oxidation of nickel(II), whereas oxidation of manganese(II) by peroxomonosulfuric acid is 16-fold faster than oxidation by peroxodisulfate under similar conditions.

The kinetics of hydyrolysis of a series of 1-aryl-3-aryloxymethyl-3-methyltriazenes, Ar-N=N-NMe-CH2OAr′, was studied over the pH range 2–7.5. Reactions were followed by the change in UV absorbance spectra of the triazenes. The aryloxymethyltriazenes decompose more slowly at pH 7.5 than the hydroxymethyltriazenes, Ar-N=NMe-CH2OH; the hydrolysis is favoured by the presence of an electron-withdrawing group in Ar′. A mixed isopropanol/buffer system was developed in order to improve solubility of the aryloxymethyl triazenes. Lowering the pH caused an increase in the rate of hydrolysis and under strongly acidic conditions an electron-withdrawing group in Ar′ actually slows down the reaction. A Hammett plot of the pseudo-first-order rate constant, kobs, is curved, indicating that two or more mechanisms operate simultaneously and that the contribution of each mechanism is substituent-dependent. A plot of kobs vs. [buffer] is linear; the slope of the plot affords the rate constant, kb for the buffer-catalyzed reaction for each substituent. A Hammett plot of kb vs. σ is linear with ρ = +0.55, suggesting that the buffer-catalyzed reaction involves nucleophilic displacement of the phenoxy group by the buffer anion. Further analysis afforded the specific acid-catalyzed rate constants, [Formula: see text], for each substituent; this component of the reaction has a negative ρ, consistent with a mechanism involving protonation at the ether oxygen. The postulation that specific acid catalysis is a component of the reaction mechanism was confirmed by the observation of a solvent deuterium isotope effect, 2.28 > kH/kD > 1.60. Only the p-NO2 and p-CN phenyloxymethyltriazenes showed any spontaneous decomposition.

Standard potentials of the redox couples [bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate)MIII]-/2- ([M(dipic)2]-/2-, where M = Fe, Ru, Co) have been determined at 25�C, and ionic strength 0.1M (NaClO4 or KNO3). Kinetics of reduction of the oxidized complexes by ascorbate have also been examined under the same conditions. The [Fe(dipic)2]-/2- potential was found to be 355 � 5 mV. Reduction of [Fe(Fe(dipic)2]- in the pH range 4-6 was shown to occur by reaction with ascorbate monoanion (HA-) with a rate constant of (2.2 � 0.2) × 103 1. mol-1 s-1, and ascorbate dianion(A2-) with a rate constant of (7 � 1) × 108 1. mol-1 s-1. K [Ru(dipic)2] has been synthesized. Spectroscopic and analytical evidence suggest that it is a simple six-coordinate species in the solid and in non-aqueous solvents, but that in water it exists as an equilibrium mixture of at least two species. The redox potential for this mixture was found to be 270 � 10 mV. The major component of this mixture is reduced by A2- with a rate constant of (4.7 � 0.1) × 1081.mol-1 s-1. A value of 747 � 5 mV was measured for the redox potential of the cobalt couple, although equilibration of this system with the inert electrode could be achieved only by using [Fe(bpy)2(CN)2] as a mediator. Kinetics of reduction of [Co(dipic)2]- by ascorbate were complex and not reproducible.

The kinetics of the oxidation of iodide ion by horseradish peroxidase compound II have been studied as a function of pH at 25° and ionic strength of 0.11. The logarithm of the second-order rate constant decreases linearly from 2.3 × 105 to 0.1 M−1 s−1 with increasing pH over the pH range 2.7 to 9.0. The pH dependence of the reaction is explained in terms of an acid dissociation outside the pH range of the study.

In order to investigate the nature of compounds I and II of horseradish peroxidase, the kinetics were studied of ferrocyanide oxidation catalyzed by these compounds which were prepared from three different oxidizing agents. The pH dependence of the apparent second-order rate constant for ferrocyanide oxidation by compound I, prepared from ethyl hydroperoxide and m-chloroperbenzoic acid, was interpreted in terms of an ionization on the enzyme with a pKa = 5.3, identical to that reported previously for hydrogen peroxide. The second-order rate constant for the compound II-ferrocyanide reaction also showed the same pH dependence for the three oxidizing substrates. However, with more accurate results, the compound II-ferrocyanide reaction was reinterpreted in terms of a single ionization with pKa = 8.5. The same dependence of ferrocyanide oxidation on pH suggests structurally identical active sites for compounds I and II prepared from the three different oxidizing substrates.

A kinetic study of the reaction of two turnip peroxidases (P1 and P7) with hydrogen peroxide to form the primary oxidized compound (compound I) has been carried out over the pH range from 2,4 to 10.8. In the neutral and acidic pH regions, the rates depend linearly on hydrogen peroxide concentration whereas at alkaline pH values the rates display saturation kinetics. A comparison is made with the cyanide binding reaction to peroxidases since the two reactions are influenced in the same manner by ionization of groups on the native enzymes. Two different ionization processes of peroxidase P1 with pKa values of 3.9 and 10 are required to explain the rate pH profile for the reaction with H2O2. Protonation of the former group and ionization of the latter causes a decrease in the rate of reaction of the enzyme with H2O2. In the case of peroxidase P7 a minimum model involves three ionizable groups with pKa values of 2.5, 4, and 9. Protonation of the former two groups and ionization of the latter lowers the reaction rate. In the pH-independent region, the rate of formation of compound I was measured as a function of temperature. From the Arrhenius plots the activation energy for the reaction was calculated to be 2.9 ± 0.1 kcal/mol for P1 and 5.4 ± 0.3 kcal/mol for P7. However, the rates are independent of viscosity in glycerol–water mixtures up to 30% glycerol.

The kinetics of the hydrolysis of N,N-dimethyl-2-phenylaziridinium ion (DPA) have been studied over the pH range 5.5–8.0 as have the kinetics of the interaction of DPA with bovine erythrocyte acetyl-cholinesterase. The enzyme is initially inhibited reversibly and subsequently irreversibly towards acetylcholine hydrolysis. The hydrolysis of DPA was found to be pH independent over the range studied while the reversible noncompetitive inhibition increased with increasing pH, the data suggesting the requirement for a basic group on the enzyme with a pKa of about 6.5.Between pH values of 6.0 and 8.0 the kinetics of the irreversible inhibition are consistent with either of two kinetically indistinguishable mechanisms, one involving transformation of the initial reversible complex and the other an independent attack on the uncomplexed enzyme. The first mechanism gives rise to a first-order rate constant which is comparable with that for the hydrolysis of DPA but which increases with decreasing pH; an acidic group on the enzyme with pKa between 6.0 and 7.0 may be involved. The second-order rate constant arising from the second treatment goes through a maximum at pH 7.3. At pH 5.5 the kinetics are not consistent with either mechanism.

The stoichiometry and kinetics of the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide by tris(2,2′-bipyridine) and tris(4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine) complexes of osmium(III), iron(III), ruthenium(III), and nickel (III) were studied in acidic and neutral aqueous media at 25 °C and I = 0.50 M (LiCF3SO3). The reaction 2M(bpy)33+ + H2O2 → 2M(bpy)32+ + O2 + 2H+ is observed with quantitative yields of dioxygen gas. The observed rate constants displayed an inverse acid dependence over the pH range 6.0–8.5; kobsd = k1 + k2K1/[H+], attributed to the oxidations of H2O2(k1) and HO2− (k2). An application of the Marcus theory relationship to the cross-reaction data gave a self-exchange rate constant of 10−2–10−1 M−1 s−1 for the HO2−/HO2 couple. The electron exchange rate constant is evaluated in terms of the inner-sphere and solvent reorganizational barriers and is compared to values reported for other small molecule couples. Rate and activation parameters for the reduction of the nickel(III) complexes by the hydroxide ion have been determined and are compared with the corresponding values for other metal tris(poly pyridine) complexes.

The oxidation of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) by the myeloperoxidase intermediates compounds I and II was investigated by using transient-state spectral and kinetic measurements at 25.0 ± 0.1°C. Rapid scan spectra demonstrated that both compound I and compound II oxidize serotonin via one-electron processes. Rate constants for these reactions were determined using both sequential-mixing and single-mixing stopped-flow techniques. The second order rate constant obtained for the one-electron reduction of compound I to compound II by serotonin is (1.7 ± 0.1) × 107 M-1·s-1, and that for compound II reduction to native enzyme is (1.4 ± 0.1) × 106 M-1·s-1 at pH 7.0. The maximum pH of the compound I reaction with serotonin occurs in the pH range 7.0-7.5. At neutral pH, the rate constant for myeloperoxidase compound I reacting with serotonin is an order of magnitude larger than for its reaction with chloride, (2.2 ± 0.2) × 106 M-1·s-1. A direct competition of serotonin with chloride for myeloperoxidase compound I oxidation was observed. Our results suggest that serotonin may have a role to protect lipoproteins from oxidation and to prevent enzymes from inactivation caused by the potent oxidants HOCl and active oxygen species.Key words: serotonin oxidation, myeloperoxidase, chloride, competition of serotonin, blood platelets, neutrophils.

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.
