The oxidations of both L-tyrosine and 3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine by compound II of horseradish peroxidase were studied over the pH range of approximately 3 to 10 at 25 °C and at a constant ionic strength of 0.11. The rate versus pH profile for the tyrosine – compound II reaction illustrates the influences of at least two acid group ionizations. An enzyme dissociation (pKa ~ 6.2) has a small effect on the reaction rate; whereas, a second pKa of 9.2, which may be attributed to either the enzyme or substrate, has a greater influence on the rate. The oxidation of tyrosine by compound II is fastest at pH 7.6. In the case of the diiodotyrosine – compound II reaction, three acid dissociations are necessary to describe the plot of log (kapp) versus pH. These include two enzyme pKa values of 3.6 and 8.6, and one substrate pKa of 6.6. The rate optimum for the reaction occurs at pH 5.2 and deprotonation of the phenolic group of diiodotyrosine results in a dramatic decrease in kapp. Diiodotyrosine is required in only a 0.5 M equivalent for the conversion of horseradish peroxidase compound I to compound II. The diiodotyrosine pKa values were estimated as 6.4 and 9.4 for the phenolic and amino groups, respectively.

The rate of oxidation of L-(−)-tyrosine by horseradish peroxidase compound I has been studied as a function of pH at 25 °C and ionic strength 0.11. Over the pH range of 3.20–11.23 major effects of three ionizations were observed. The pKa values of the phenolic (pKa = 10.10) and amino (pKa = 9.21) dissociations of tyrosine and a single enzyme ionization (pKa = 5.42) were determined from nonlinear least squares analysis of the log rate versus pH profile. It was noted that the less acidic form of the enzyme was most reactive; hence, the reaction is described as base catalyzed. The rate of tyrosine oxidation falls rapidly with the deprotonation of the phenolic group.

The kinetics of the oxidation of sulfite and nitrite by horseradish peroxidase compounds I and II have been studied as a function of pH at 25° and ionic strength 0.11. The pH dependence of the rate of the reaction between compound I and sulfite over the pH range 2–7 is interpreted in terms of two ground state enzyme dissociations with pka values of 5.1 and 3.3, and that for the compound II reaction with sulfite in terms of a single ground state enzyme dissociation with a pKa value of 3.9. Whereas the reaction between compound I and sulfite produces the native enzyme without the intermediate formation of compound II, the reaction of compound I with nitrite yields compound II. The second-order rate constants for the reactions of compounds I and II with nitrite increase linearly with increasing hydrogen ion concentration over the pH range 6–8.

The rate constants for the reactions of horseradish peroxidase compound I (k1) and compound II (k2) with three 4-substituted arylboronic acids, which enhance chemiluminescence in the horseradish peroxidase catalyzed oxidation of luminol by hydrogen peroxide, were determined at pH 8.6, total ionic strength 0.11 M, using stopped-flow kinetic measurements. For comparison, the rate constants of the reactions of 4-iodophenol with compounds I and II were also determined under the same experimental conditions. The three arylboronic acid derivatives and their rate constants are: 4-biphenylboronic acid, k1 = (1.21 ± 0.08) × 106 M−1 s−1, k2 = (4.6 ± 0.2) × 105 M−1 s−1; 4-bromophenylboronic acid, k1 = (5.5 ± 0.2) × 104 M−1 s−1, k2 = (3.6 ± 0.2) × 104 M−1 s−1; and 4-iodophenylboronic acid, k1 = (1.1 ± 0.2) × 105 M−1 s−1, k2 = (1.3 ± 0.1) × 104 M−1 s−1. 4-Biphenylboronic acid, which shows comparable luminescent enhancement to 4-iodophenol, has the highest reactivity in the reduction of both compounds I and II among the three arylboronic acid derivatives tested.

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.

The reactions of two heme peroxidases, horseradish peroxidase and lactoperoxidase and their compounds II (oxoferryl heme intermediates, Fe(IV) = O or ferric protein radical Fe(III)R.) and compounds III (resonance hybrids [Fe(III)-O2-. Fe(II)-O2] with superoxide radical anion generated enzymatically or radiolytically, and with hydroxyl radicals generated radiolytically, were investigated. It is suggested that only the protein radical form of compound II of lactoperoxidase reacts with superoxide, whereas compound II of horseradish peroxidase, which exists only in oxoferryl form, is unreactive towards superoxide. Compound III of the investigated peroxidases does not react with superoxide. The lactoperoxidase activity loss induced by hydroxyl radicals is closely related to the loss of the ability to form compound I (oxoferryl porphyrin pi-cation radical, Fe(IV) = O(Por+.) or oxoferryl protein radical Fe(IV) = O(R.)). On the other hand, the modification of horseradish peroxidase induced by hydroxyl radicals has been reported to cause also restrictions in substrate binding (Gebicka, L. & Gebicki, J.L., 1996, Biochimie 78, 62-65). Nevertheless, it has been found that only a small fraction of hydroxyl radicals generated homogeneously does inactivate the enzymes.

EDTA inhibits horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalysed iodide oxidation in a concentration and pH-dependent manner. It is more effective at pH 6 than at lower pH values. A plot of log Kiapp. values as a function of pH yields a sigmoidal curve from which a pKa value of 5.4 can be calculated for an ionizable group on the catalytically active HRP for EDTA inhibition. Among the structural analogues of EDTA, tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) is 80% as effective as EDTA, whereas the EDTA-Zn2+ chelate and EGTA are ineffective. Kinetic studies indicate that EDTA competitively inhibits iodide oxidation. Spectral studies show that EDTA can quickly reduce compound I to compound II, but reduction of preformed compound II to the native enzyme is relatively slow, as demonstrated by the time-dependent spectral shift from 417 nm to 402 nm through an isosbestic point at 408 nm. Under steady-state conditions, in a reaction mixture containing HRP, EDTA and H2O2, the enzyme remains in the compound-II form, with absorption maxima at 417, 527 and 556 nm. Direct evidence for one-electron oxidation of EDTA by HRP intermediates is provided by the appearance of an e.s.r. signal of a 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (spin trap)-EDTA radical adduct [aN (hyperfine splitting constant) = 1.5 mT] in e.s.r. studies. The signal intensity, however, decreases in the presence of iodide. The KD of the HRP-EDTA complex obtained from optical difference spectroscopy increases with an increase in iodide concentration, and the double-reciprocal plot for EDTA binding indicates that EDTA and iodide compete for the same binding site for oxidation. We suggest that EDTA inhibits iodide oxidation by acting as an electron donor.

The kinetics of oxidation of eight monosubstituted anilines catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase compound II has been studied at pH 7.00 and 7.60. With p-toluidine the rates of oxidation by compound II have been measured at 21 pH values between 3.60 and 10.25. The rate–pH profile indicates that an acidic form of compound II and the electrically neutral, unprotonated form of p-toluidine are reactive. The correlation of rate constants for the substituted anilines with the substituent constant σ in the Hammett equation suggests that the aromatic amine donates an electron to compound II in the rate-controlling step and loses a proton simultaneously. The value of ρ, the susceptibility factor in the Hammett equation, is −6.0 ± 0.7. The reactivity of anilines with HRP-II observed in this study is lower than that of anilines with HRP-I observed previously, although the value of ρ is the same within experimental error (D. Job and H. B. Dunford. Eur. J. Biochem. 66, 607 (1976)). The difference in reactivity is explained by the relative complexities of the reactions of compounds I and II.

AbstractKinetics of the electron transfer process between citrates and manganese(III) ions has been studied in acidic aqueous solutions. Acidification of the reaction mixture increased the reaction rate. The reaction is dependent on pH because there are two main protolytic forms of the Mn(III)-citrate complex in the studied pH range (4.5–6.5). Reduction potentials of Mn(III)/Mn(II) system in acidic and basic solutions as well as protolytic equilibria play a crucial role in understanding the pH profile of the studied system. The rate constants for Mn(III)citH and Mn(III)citH2+ species degradation processes are presented (citH3− and citH22− are trivalent and divalent anions of citric acid, citH4, respectively). Protolytic constant (expressed as pK′a) for Mn(III)citH protonation is estimated and discussed.

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.
