Abstract:
: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.
