Abstract
The one-electron oxidation of horseradish peroxidase compound II to compound I by sodium periodate was observed. The bimolecular rate constant for the NaIO4--compound II interaction is equal to 9.5 +/- 1 x 10(-3) M-1s-1 at room temperature. Irradiation, using ultraviolet light, of the solution containing compound II and persulfate in the presence of bicarbonate, chloride, or bromide, leads ot the fast accumulation of compound I due to the oxidative action of SO4, CO3, Cl2, and Br2 anion radicals, which are products of the photolysis.
