    • The reduction of ferric chloroperoxidase by dithionite (SO2-) proceeds with a rate constant of (7.7 ± 1.0) x 10^4 M^-1 s^-1.
    • Oxygen binding to ferrous chloroperoxidase occurs with a rate constant of (5.5 ± 1.0) x 10^5 M^-1 s^-1 across a pH range of 3.5-6.
    • Oxyferrous chloroperoxidase exhibits a Soret peak at 428 nm and other peaks, with identified isosbestic points indicating distinct spectral transitions.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides quantitative kinetic data for key redox reactions of chloroperoxidase.
    • The spectral characteristics of oxyferrous chloroperoxidase offer insights into its electronic structure.
    • These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of chloroperoxidase's enzymatic function and reactivity.
