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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The reaction of nitrite (NO2-) with horseradish peroxidase and lactoperoxidase was studied. Sequential mixing stopped-flow measurements gave the following values for the rate constants of the reaction of nitrite with compounds II (oxoferryl heme intermediates) of horseradish peroxidase and lactoperoxidase at pH 7.0, 13.3 +/- 0.07 mol(-1) dm3 s(-1) and 3.5 +/- 0.05 x 10(4) mol(-1) dm3 s(-1), respectively. Nitrite, at neutral pH, influenced measurements of activity of lactoperoxidase with typical substrates like 2,2'-azino-bis[ethyl-benzothiazoline-(6)-sulphonic acid] (ABTS), guaiacol or thiocyanate (SCN-). The rate of ABTS and guaiacol oxidation increased linearly with nitrite concentration up to 2.5-5 mmol dm(-3). On the other hand, two-electron SCN- oxidation was inhibited in the presence of nitrite. Thus, nitrite competed with the investigated substrates of lactoperoxidase. The intermediate, most probably nitrogen dioxide (*NO2), reacted more rapidly with ABTS or guaiacol than did lactoperoxidase compound II. It did not, however, effectively oxidize SCN- to OSCN-. NO2- did not influence the activity measurements of horseradish peroxidase by ABTS or guaiacol method.

The kinetics of the reactions of hydrogen peroxide and cyanide with native horseradish peroxidase, as well as reactions of compounds I and II with ferrocyanide have been studied in ordinary water and in deuterium oxide at 25 °C and ionic strength 0.11 using a stopped-flow apparatus. Rate constants for all reactions were measured over a wide range of acidity in both solvents from which equilibrium and kinetic isotope effects were evaluated. Protonation of an ionizable group on the enzyme with a pKa value of 4.15 ± 0.05 in water inhibits the reactions with both hydrogen peroxide and cyanide. A significant kinetic isotope effect, kH/kD = 1.6 ± 0.1, was measured for compound I formation whereas no significant kinetic isotope effect was found for cyanide binding. On the basis of these findings, a partial mechanism for compound I formation is proposed in which the group of pKa 4.15 plays a crucial role. The pH dependencies of the ferrocyanide reaction in the pH interval 4.5–10.8 confirmed the role of an acid group with a pKa of 5.2 for compound I and for compound II a pKa of 8.6 and another with a value lower than that encompassed by the pH range of the study. Equilibrium isotope effects were found but no kinetic isotope effects for either the reaction of compound I or of compound II This suggests that there are no rate-limiting proton transfers in the reactions between ferrocyanide and compounds I and II of horseradish peroxidase. The only reducing substrates which exhibit positive kH/kD values possess a labile proton.

Titration of guaiacol by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a catalytic amount of horseradish peroxidase shows that the reduction of hydrogen peroxide proceeds by the abstraction of two electrons from a guaiacol molecule. In the same way, it can be demonstrated that 0.5 mol of guaiacol can reduce, at low temperature, 1 mol of peroxidase compound I to compound II. Moreover, the reaction between equal amounts of compound I and guaiacol at low temperature produces the native enzyme. A reaction scheme is proposed which postulates that two electrons are transferred from guaiacol to compound I giving ferriperoxidase and oxidized guaiacol with the intermediary formation of compound II. The direct two-electron transfer from guaiacol to compound I without a dismutation of product free radicals must be considered as an exception to the general mechanism involving a single-electron transfer.

1. The kinetics of formation of horseradish peroxidase Compound I were studied by using peroxobenzoic acid and ten substituted peroxobenzoic acids as substrates. Kinetic data for the formation of Compound I with H2O2 and for the reaction of deuteroferrihaem with H2O2 and peroxobenzoic acids, to form a peroxidatically active intermediate, are included for comparison. 2. The observed second-order rate constants for the formation of Compound I with peroxobenzoic acids decrease with increasing pH, in the range pH 5-10, in contrast with pH-independence of the reaction with H2O2. The results imply that the formation of Compound I involves a reaction between the enzyme and un-ionized hydroperoxide molecules. 3. The maximal rate constants for Compound I formation with unhindered peroxobenzoic acids exceed that for H2O2. Peroxobenzoic acids with bulky ortho substituents show marked adverse steric effects. The pattern of substituent effects does not agree with expectations for an electrophilic oxidation of the enzyme by peroxoacid molecules in aqueous solution, but is in agreement with that expected for a reaction involving nucleophilic attack by peroxo anions. 4. Possible reaction mechanisms are considered by which the apparent conflict between the pH-effect and substituent-effect data may be resolved. A model in which it is postulated that a negatively charged ‘electrostatic gate’ controls access of substrate to the active site and may also activate substrate within the active site, provides the most satisfactory explanation for both the present results and data from the literature.
