An evidence of the peroxidase-dependent oxygen transfer from hydrogen peroxide to sulfides

An evidence of the peroxidase-dependent oxygen transfer from hydrogen peroxide to sulfides

S Kobayashi et al. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. .

Abstract

Horseradish- and chloro-peroxidase catalyzed oxidation of sulfides have been investigated. Thioanisoles were oxygenated to the corresponding sulfoxides by such peroxidases at the expense of H2O2. Dealkylation was observed only in the chloroperoxidase-dependent oxidations of p-methoxy- and p-iso-propoxy-thioanisoles. The experiments with 18O-labeled H2O2 indicated that an oxygen atom of H2O2 is incorporated into the sulfoxides. These research lead to the conclusion that compound I or II is capable of acting as an oxygen donor as well as an electron acceptor.
