Conversion of 9-D- and 13-L-hydroperoxylinoleic acids by soybean lipoxygenase-1 under anaerobic conditions

J Verhagen et al. Biochim Biophys Acta. .

Abstract

Soybean lipoxygenase-1 reacts with both 9-D and 13-L-hydroperoxylinoleic acids under anaerobic conditions. Approximately 40% of the hydroperoxide is converted into oxodienes, absorbing at 285 nm. Concomitantly, more polar compounds are formed, tentatively identified as being mainly epoxy-hydroxy-octadecenoic acids. When oxygen is present, the reaction is strongly inhibited, until in a very slow reaction the oxygen has been depleted. This accounts for the occurrence of a lag period.
