Singlet oxygen production by lactoperoxidase.

J R Kanofsky

    The Journal of Biological Chemistry
    |May 25, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study detected infrared chemiluminescence in a lactoperoxidase system, indicating the production of singlet oxygen (1O2). The reaction requires the enzyme, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and bromide ions (Br-).

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Chemical Kinetics

    Background:

    • Lactoperoxidase is an enzyme involved in various biological processes.
    • Chemiluminescence can be a sensitive indicator of reactive oxygen species production.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the potential production of singlet oxygen (1O2) in the lactoperoxidase, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and bromide ion (Br-) system.
    • To characterize the chemiluminescence emission from this enzymatic system.

    Main Methods:

    • Detection of infrared chemiluminescence emission.
    • Systematic deletion of key components (enzyme, H2O2, Br-) to assess their necessity.
    • Investigation of solvent effects using deuterated water (2H2O).

    Main Results:

    • Infrared chemiluminescence with peak intensity around 1270 nm was observed.
    • Emission was dependent on active lactoperoxidase, H2O2, and Br-.
    • Chemiluminescence intensity increased significantly in 98% 2H2O.

    Conclusions:

    • The observed chemiluminescence is strong evidence for the generation of singlet oxygen (1O2) in the lactoperoxidase system.
    • The results highlight the role of this enzymatic system in producing reactive oxygen species.
