Abstract
Catalase catalyzed the peroxynitrite-mediated nitration of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. The curve for the pH dependence of nitration was similar to that for the reaction between peroxynitrite and phenol. Cyanide, azide, and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole inhibited the nitration in a dose-dependent way. When catalase was mixed with peroxynitrite, Compound I was detected as an intermediate. Because azide was an electron donor for the peroxidatic action of catalase, and because 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole inhibited catalase activity by binding with Compound I, peroxynitrite-mediated phenolic nitration was probably accompanied by Compound I formation. Both catalase and superoxide dismutase protected Escherichia coli from peroxynitrite toxicity.

Abstract
Kinetics and products of peroxynitrite anion O=NOO- reactions, catalyzed by water-soluble manganese and iron porphyrins, were studied under basic and neutral conditions. In the absence of organic substrates peroxynitrite decomposes catalytically to give nitrite and dioxygen as major products. Catalytic decomposition competes with direct oxidation of sulfoxide to sulfone, while phenol is catalytically nitrated in o- and p-positions. A reaction mechanism is proposed.

Abstract
Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) is inactivated on exposure to peroxynitrite under physiologically relevant conditions. Stopped-flow kinetic studies show that the reaction between peroxynitrite and GSH-Px is first-order in each of the reactants, with an apparent second-order rate constant of 4.5 +/- 0.2 x 10(4) M-1 s-1 per monomer unit of enzyme. In good agreement with this value, GSH-Px inactivation experiments afford an apparent second-order rate constant of 1.8 +/- 0.1 x 10(4) M-1 s-1 per monomer unit of enzyme. The hydroxyl radical scavengers mannitol, DMSO, and benzoate (at 100 mM) afford only 8-12% protection of the enzyme, while addition of 25 mM bicarbonate results in 55% protection. The minimal protection by hydroxyl radical scavengers indicates, as expected, that hydroxyl radicals are not involved in the inactivation. Protection by bicarbonate occurs because peroxynitrite is rapidly trapped by CO2 to form the adduct nitrosoperoxycarbonate (ONOOCO2-), and/or other reactive species that preferentially decompose to nitrate rather than react with GSH-Px. The close agreement between the rate constants obtained from enzyme inactivation and from stopped-flow kinetics experiments suggests that the mechanism of the reaction between peroxynitrite and GSH-Px involves the oxidation of the ionized selenol of the selenocysteine residue in the enzyme's active site (E-Se-) by peroxynitrite. This reaction does not simply involve formation of the selenenic acid, E-SeOH, because E-SeOH is an intermediate in the catalytic cycle of the enzyme, and thus its formation cannot explain the inactivation we observe. Thus, the ionized selenol in the active site is transformed into a form of selenium that cannot easily be reduced back to the selenol.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) has been shown to play a critical role in tissue reperfusion injury. We have studied the reactions of ONOO- with native and two chemically modified hemoglobins that are being developed as oxygen-carrying reperfusion agents for use in a variety of clinical conditions. Reactions of native and chemically modified oxyhemoglobins (oxyHb) at 7.4 with ONOO- lead to a rapid oxidation of the heme iron to ferric (HbFe3+) form. Addition of excess molar ratios of ONOO- to the ferryl (HbFe4+) heme protein induced a spectral change indicative of the reduction of HbFe4+ to the HbFe3+ oxidation state. No major spectral changes were noted when ONOO- was added to methemoglobin (HbFe3+) or cyanomethemoglobin (Hb3+CN-), whereas the carbonmonoxy derivative of ferrous hemoglobin (HbCO) underwent an immediate spectral change suggesting the displacement of the CO ligand and oxidation of the heme iron. Rapid mixing of ONOO- with oxyHb in the stopped-flow spectrophotometer yielded biphasic kinetic plots for the oxidation of the ferrous iron (Fe2+). Replots of the apparent rate constants for native, cross-linked and polymerized, cross-linked hemoglobins as a function of ONOO- concentration were linear, yielding a single second-order rate for all hemoglobins of between 2 to 3 x 10(4) M-1 s-1, independent of the oxygen affinities and molecular sizes of the proteins. Oxidative modifications of the protein by ONOO-, occurring primarily at the beta subunits, were observed in reaction mixtures of oxyHb and ONOO- using reverse-phase HPLC. The immuno-detection method confirms that nitration of tyrosine residues by ONOO- occurs on the hemoglobin molecule and contributes to the modifications observed. We postulate that the presence of hemoglobin in close proximity to ONOO- production sites in the vasculature can contribute to possible in vivo toxicity by a two-step mechanism involving (i) direct oxidation of the heme iron and (ii) nitration of the tyrosine residues on the molecule, leading to subsequent instability and heme loss from the protein.

Abstract
The capabilities of stimulated neutrophils to initiate intraphagosomal and extracellular chlorination, nitration, and other oxidative reactions has been evaluated using a fluorescent particle and soluble phenolic compounds as target molecules. Neutrophils activated by the soluble stimulus, phorbol myristate acetate, both chlorinated fluorescein that was covalently attached to polyacrylamide microspheres and initiated tyrosine dimerization. When nitrite ion was present at millimolar concentration levels in the medium, nitration of the phenolic rings also occurred; the relative extent of nitration increased as the nitrite concentration was increased. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) also catalyzed nitration and chlorination of fluorescein and the fluorescein-conjugated particles in cell-free solutions; the relative nitration yields increased with increasing [NO2-]/[Cl-] ratios. Nitration did not involve intermediary formation of nitrating agents derived from reaction between MPO-generated HOCl and NO2- because this reaction also occurred in chloride-free media and direct addition of HOCl to solutions containing NO2- and fluorescein gave only chlorinated products. In marked contrast to these extracellular reactions, intraphagosomal nitration of the fluorescein-conjugated particles could not be detected (even at [NO2-] as high as 0.1 M), whereas chlorination of the probe was extensive. These data indicate that intraphagosomal aromatic nitration in neutrophils is negligible, although extracellular nitration of phenolic compounds by secreted MPO could occur at physiological concentration levels of NO2-.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is a potent oxidant implicated in a number of pathophysiological processes. The activity of ONOO- is related to its accessibility to biological targets before its spontaneous decomposition (t1/2 approximately 1 s at pH 7.4, 37 degrees C). Using model phospholipid vesicular systems and manganese porphyrins as reporter molecules, we demonstrated that ONOO- freely crosses phospholipid membranes. The calculated permeability coefficient for ONOO- is approximately 8.0 x 10(-4) cm.s-1, which compares well with that of water and is approximately 400 times greater than that of superoxide. We suggest that ONOO- is a significant biological effector molecule not only because of its reactivity but also because of its high diffusibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a toxic biological oxidant, has been implicated in many pathophysiological conditions. The water-soluble porphyrins 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methyl-4'-pyridyl)porphinato iron(III) (FeTMPyP) and manganese(III) (MnTMPyP) have recently emerged as potential drugs for ONOO- detoxification, and FeTMPyP has demonstrated activity in models of ONOO- related disease states. We set out to develop amphiphilic analogs of FeTMPyP and MnTMPyP suitable for liposomal delivery in sterically stabilized liposomes (SLs). RESULTS Three amphiphilic iron porphyrins (termed 1a-c.) and three manganese porphyrins (termed 2a-c.) bound to liposomes and catalyzed the decomposition of ONOO-. The polyethylene-glycol-linked metalloporphyrins 1b. and 2b. proved the most effective of these catalysts, rapidly decomposing ONOO- with second-order rate constants (kcat) of 2.9 x 10(5) M-1 s-1 and 5.0 x 10(5) M-1 s-1, respectively, in dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes. Catalysts 1b. and 2b. also bound to SLs, and these metalloporphyrin-SL constructs efficiently catalyzed ONOO- decomposition (kcat approximately 2 x 10(5) M-1 s-1). The analogous metalloporphyrins 1a. and 2a., which are not separated from the vesicle membrane surface by polyethylene glycol linkers, were significantly less effective (kcat approximately 3.5 x 10(4) M-1 s-1). CONCLUSIONS For these amphiphilic analogs of FeTMPyP and MnTMPyP, the polarity of the environment of the metalloporphyrin headgroup is intimately related to the efficiency of the catalyst; a polar aqueous environment is essential for effective catalysis of ONOO- decomposition. Thus, catalysts 1b. and 2b. react rapidly with ONOO- and are potential therapeutic agents that, unlike their water-soluble TMPyP analogs, could be administered as liposomal formulations in SLs. These SL-bound amphiphilic metalloporphyrins may prove to be highly effective in the exploration and treatment of ONOO- related disease states.

Abstract
Recent reports proposed that nitric oxide was a modulator of cholinergic transmission. Here, we examined the role of NO on cholinergic metabolism in a model of the peripheral cholinergic nervous synapse: synaptosomes from Torpedo electric organ. The presence of NO synthase was immunodetected in the cell bodies, in the nerve ending area of nerve-electroplate tissue and in the electroplates. Exogenous source of NO was provided from SIN1, a donor of NO and O2-., and an end-derivative peroxynitrite (ONOO-). SIN1 increased calcium-dependent acetylcholine (ACh) release induced by KCl depolarization or a calcium ionophore A23187. The formation of ONOO- was continuously followed by a new chemiluminescent assay. The addition of superoxide dismutase, that decreases the formation of ONOO-, did not impair the stimulation of ACh release, suggesting that NO itself was the main stimulating agent. When the endogenous source of NO was blocked by proadifen, an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 activity of NO synthase, both KCl- and A23187-induced ACh release were abolished; nevertheless, the inhibitor Ng-monomethyl-L-arginine did not modify ACh release when applied in a short time duration of action. Both NO synthase inhibitors reduced the synthesis of ACh from the radioactive precursor acetate and its incorporation into synaptic vesicles as did ONOO- chemically synthesized or formed from SIN1. In addition, choline acetyltransferase activity was strongly inhibited by ONOO- and SIN1 but not by the NO donors SNAP and SNP or, by NO synthase inhibitors. Altogether these results indicate that NO and ONOO modulate presynaptic cholinergic metabolism in the micromolar range, NO (up to 100 microM) being a stimulating agent of ACh release and ONOO- being an inhibitor of ACh synthesis and choline acetyltransferase activity.

Abstract
The toxicity of peroxynitrite toward Escherichia coli (expressed as LD50, the concentration required to kill 50% of the bacteria) was found to be independent of bacterial cell densities over a wide experimental range, spanning 10(6)-10(10) colony-forming units/mL; the magnitude of LD50 was also pH-independent over the range pH 5.9-8.3. This highly unusual behavior can be quantitatively reproduced by a dynamical model in which (i) ONO2H is identified as the toxic form of the oxidant and (ii) the bulk of the added peroxynitrite decays to nitrate ion under these conditions. From the model, one estimates that 10(6)-10(7) ONO2H molecules are required to kill a bacterium, indicating a very high intrinsic toxicity (cf. HOCl, for which LD50 = 10(7)-10(8) molecules/cell of E. coli). Nearly complete protection was observed when bicarbonate ion was added to the buffer, even when concentrations of peroxynitrite exceeded 50 times the LD50 measured in the absence of bicarbonate. Consistent with previous reports, combinations of H2O2 and NO and, in weakly acidic media, H2O2 and NO2- were found to exhibit enhanced toxicities relative to the individual reactants. Protection by bicarbonate was utilized to assess the potential role of intermediary formation of ONO2H in bacterial killing in these systems. Approximately 25% protection by bicarbonate was observed for media containing H2O2 and NO2-, consistent with a minor contribution to killing by ONO2H under the experimental conditions. No protection was observed for media containing H2O2 and *NO in both anaerobic and aerobic environments, excluding extracellularly generated ONO2H as a participant in these bactericidal reactions.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (NO) is a widespread signaling molecule involved in the regulation of an impressive spectrum of diverse cellular functions. Superoxide anions (O-2) not only contribute to the localization of NO action by rapid inactivation, but also give rise to the formation of the potentially toxic species peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and other reactive nitrogen oxide species. The chemistry and biological effect of ONOO- depend on the relative rates of formation of NO and O-2. However, the simultaneous quantification of NO and O-2 has not been achieved yet due to their high rate of interaction, which is almost diffusion-controlled. A sensitive spectrophotometric assay was developed for the simultaneous quantification of NO and O-2 in aqueous solution that is based on the NO-induced oxidation of oxyhemoglobin (oxyHb) to methemoglobin and the O-2-mediated reduction of ferricytochrome c. Using a photodiode array photometer, spectral changes of either reaction were analyzed, and appropriate wavelengths were identified for the simultaneous monitoring of absorbance changes of the individual reactions. oxyHb oxidation was followed at 541.2 nm (isosbestic wavelength for the conversion of ferri- to ferrocytochrome c), and ferricytochrome c reduction was followed at 465 nm (wavelength at which absorbance changes during oxyHb to methemoglobin conversion were negligible), using 525 nm as the isosbestic point for both reactions. At final concentrations of 20 microM ferricytochrome c and 5 microM oxyHb, the molar extinction coefficients were determined to be epsilon465-525 = 7.3 mM-1 cm-1 and epsilon541.2-525 = 6.6 mM-1 cm-1, respectively. The rates of formation of either NO or O-2 determined with the combined assay were virtually identical to those measured with the classical oxyhemoglobin and cytochrome c assays, respectively. The assay was successfully adapted to either kinetic or end point determination in a cuvette or continuous on-line measurement of both radicals in a flow-through system. Maximal assay sensitivity was approximately 25 nM for NO and O-2. Cross-reactivity with ONOO- was controlled for by the presence of L-methionine. Generation of NO from the NO donor spermine diazeniumdiolate could be reliably quantified in the presence and absence of low, equimolar, and high flux rates of O-2. Likewise, O-2 enzymatically generated from hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase could be specifically quantified with no difference in absolute rates in the presence or absence of concomitant NO generation at different flux rates. Nonenzymatic decomposition of 3-morpholinosydnonimine hydrochloride (100 microM) in phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 (37 degrees C), was found to be associated with almost stoichiometric production of NO and O-2 (1.24 microM NO/min and 1.12 microM O-2/min). Assay selectivity and applicability to biological systems were demonstrated in cultured endothelial cells and isolated aortic tissue using calcium ionophore and NADH for stimulation of NO and O-2 formation, respectively. Based on these data, a computer model was elaborated that successfully predicts the reaction of NO and O-2 with hemoprotein and may thus help to further elucidate these reactions. In conclusion, the nitric oxide/superoxide assay allows the specific, sensitive, and simultaneous detection of NO and O-2. The simulation model developed also allows the reliable prediction of the reaction between NO and O-2 as well as their kinetic interaction with other biomolecules. These new analytical tools will help to gain further insight into the physiological and pathophysiological significance of the formation of these radicals in cell homeostasis.

Abstract
Involvement of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) in inflammatory diseases has been implicated by detection of 3-nitrotyrosine, an allegedly characteristic protein oxidation product, in various inflamed tissues. We show here that nitrite (NO2-), the primary metabolic end product of nitric oxide (NO.), can be oxidized by the heme peroxidases horseradish peroxidase, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and lactoperoxidase (LPO), in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), to most likely form NO.2, which can also contribute to tyrosine nitration during inflammatory processes. Phenolic nitration by MPO-catalyzed NO2- oxidation is only partially inhibited by chloride (Cl-), the presumed major physiological substrate for MPO. In fact, low concentrations of NO2- (2-10 microM) catalyze MPO-mediated oxidation of Cl-, indicated by increased chlorination of monochlorodimedon or 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, most likely via reduction of MPO compound II. Peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of NO2-, as indicated by phenolic nitration, was also observed in the presence of thiocyanate (SCN-), an alternative physiological substrate for mammalian peroxidases. Collectively, our results suggest that NO2-, at physiological or pathological levels, is a substrate for the mammalian peroxidases MPO and lactoperoxidase and that formation of NO2. via peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of NO2- may provide an additional pathway contributing to cytotoxicity or host defense associated with increased NO. production.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite activates the cyclooxygenase activities of constitutive and inducible prostaglandin endoperoxide synthases by serving as a substrate for the enzymes' peroxidase activities. Activation of purified enzyme is induced by direct addition of peroxynitrite or by in situ generation of peroxynitrite from NO coupling to superoxide anion. Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase completely inhibits cyclooxygenase activation in systems where peroxynitrite is generated in situ from superoxide. In the murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7, the lipophilic superoxide dismutase-mimetic agents, Cu(II) (3,5-diisopropylsalicylic acid)2, and Mn(III) tetrakis(1-methyl-4-pyridyl)porphyrin dose-dependently decrease the synthesis of prostaglandins without affecting the levels of NO synthase or prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase or by inhibiting the release of arachidonic acid. These findings support the hypothesis that peroxynitrite is an important modulator of cyclooxygenase activity in inflammatory cells and establish that superoxide anion serves as a biochemical link between NO and prostaglandin biosynthesis.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide has been reported to react with peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a strong oxidant and nitrating agent, to form an ONO2CO2- adduct, altering the reactivity characteristic of peroxynitrite. We found that bicarbonate (0-10 mM) caused a dose-dependent increase of up to 6-fold in the formation of 8-nitroguanine in calf-thymus DNA incubated with 0.1 mM peroxynitrite, whereas it produced no apparent effect on 8-oxoguanine formation. In contrast, bicarbonate inhibited peroxynitrite-induced strand breakage in plasmid pBR322 DNA and thymine-propenal formation from thymidine. We conclude that C02/HCO3- reacts with peroxynitrite to form a potent nitrating agent, but also to inactivate hydroxyl-radical-like activity of peroxynitrous acid.

Abstract
The second-order rate constant for the reaction of ebselen with peroxynitrite (ONOO-) is (2.0+/-0.1) X 10(6) M(-1) s(-1) at pH > or = 8 and 25 degrees C, 3-4 orders of magnitude higher than the rate constants observed for cysteine, ascorbate, or methionine. The activation energy is relatively low, 12.8 kJ/mol. This is the fastest reaction of peroxynitrite observed so far. It may allow Se-containing compounds to play a novel role in the defense against peroxynitrite, one of the important reactive species generated during inflammatory processes.

Abstract
Although the production of NO within rodent phagocytes is well-characterized, its production and function within human phagocytes are less clear. We show here that neutrophils within human buffy coat preparations stimulated with a mixture of interleukin 1, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interferon gamma contain inducible NO synthase mRNA and protein, one of the enzymes responsible for NO production. The protein colocalizes with myeloperoxidase within neutrophil primary granules. Using an inhibitor of NO synthase, L-N-monomethyl arginine, we show that activity of this enzyme is required for the formation of nitrotyrosine around phagocytosed bacteria, most likely through the intermediate production of peroxynitrite, a reaction product of NO and superoxide anions.

Abstract
A new mechanism (Mechanism III) that combines features of mechanisms suggested earlier (Goldstein and Czapski, Inorg. Chem. 34:4041-4048; 1995; Pryor, Jin, and Squadrito Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:11173-11177; 1994) is proposed for oxidations by peroxynitrite. In Mechanism III, oxidations by peroxynitrite can take place either directly by ground-state peroxynitrous acid, ONOOH, or indirectly by ONOOH*, where ONOOH* is an activated form of peroxynitrous acid. In the direct oxidation pathway the reaction is first order in peroxynitrite and first order in substrate, and the oxidation yield approaches 100%. In the indirect oxidation pathway the reaction is first order in peroxynitrite and zero order in substrate. In the presence of sufficient concentrations of a substrate that reacts by the indirect oxidation pathway, about 50-60% of the ONOOH directly isomerizes to nitric acid, and about 40-50% of the ONOOH is converted into ONOOH*. Thus, the oxidation yields by the indirect pathway will not exceed 40-50%, and there will always be a residual yield of nitrate even in the presence of very high concentrations of the substrate. Competitive inhibition studies with various free radical scavengers showed that in some cases these scavengers have no effect on oxidation yields. In others, only partial inhibition was observed, far less than that predicted from to the known rate constants for the reactions of these scavengers with the hydroxyl radical. There are some cases where the extent of inhibition correlates well with the known rate constants of the reactions of these scavengers with hydroxyl radical; nevertheless, even in these cases, the involvement of hydroxyl radicals in indirect oxidations by peroxynitrite is ruled our on the basis of kinetics and oxidation yields. Thus, direct oxidations by peroxynitrite are explained in terms of ONOOH, and indirect oxidations in terms of ONOOH*, and substrates can react by one or both of these pathways.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite [O = NOO-, oxoperoxonitrate(1-)bd is a strong oxidant that may be formed in vivo by the reaction of O2.- and NO(.). Oxoperoxonitrate(1-) reacts with molecules in aqueous acidic solutions via pathways that involve the highly reactive hydrogen oxoperonitrate either as an intermediate in a first-order reaction or as a reactive agent in a simple second-order reaction. ESR experiments show that hydrogen oxoperoxonitrate oxidizes monohydrogen L-ascorbate by one electron: when mixed at pH ca. 5 and passed through a flow cell within 0.1 s, the two-line ESR signal of the ascorbyl radical anion (aH = 0.18 T, g = 2.005) is observed. The overall stoichiometry of the reaction was 1 mol of ascorbate oxidized per mol of oxoperoxonitrate(1-) added. The kinetics of the reaction were studied over the pH range 4.0-7.5 by stopped-flow spectrometry. Hydrogen oxoperoxonitrate, observed between 300 and 350 nm, and the oxoperoxonitrate(1-) anion, at 302 nm, disappear faster than predicted for the first-order isomerization to NO3-. The rate increases from pH 4 to 5.8, and then decreases with increasing pH. The rate variation suggests a bimolecular reaction either between the oxoperoxonitrate(1-) anion and ascorbic acid or between hydrogen oxoperoxonitrate and the monohydrogen ascorbate anion. Although the two pathways are kinetically indistinguishable, the pKa values of ascorbic acid and hydrogen oxoperoxonitrate strongly suggest that the reacting species are hydrogen oxoperoxonitrate and monohydrogen ascorbate. The second-order rate constant for this reaction is 235 +/- 4 M-1s-1 at 25 degrees C.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Aromatic hydroxylation and formation of thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances occurred in a mixture of isonicotinic acid hydrazide (isoniazid) and catalase. Since these reactions were stimulated by phytic acid (a potent metal chelator), rather than inhibited, transition metal-catalysed hydroxyl radical generation was not implicated. Hydroxylation also occurred with isoniazid and phytic acid in the absence of catalase, albeit to a lesser extent. The independent effects of catalase and phytic acid are related to their abilities to catalyse isoniazid oxidation. In the presence of tyrosine, both the isoniazid/phytic acid system and authentic peroxynitrite generated dityrosine. Authentic peroxynitrite, as well as a phytic acid-mediated isoniazid oxidation product, have absorbance maxima at 302 nm. The yield of this isoniazid-derived product increased with pH and in the presence of a superoxide-generating system. A good correlation existed between absorbance at 302 nm and aromatic hydroxylation. Acid-induced decomposition of the 302 nm absorbance in the presence of superoxide dismutase led to the formation of a product absorbing in the same region as peroxynitrite-modified superoxide dismutase (350 nm at acid pH). Catalase catalysed peroxynitrite-mediated, as well as isoniazid/phytic acid-mediated tyrosine nitration, which was accompanied by Compound II formation (ferryl-catalase) in both cases. We postulate that peroxynitrite or a similar species is formed during isoniazid oxidation.

Abstract
A frequently applied photometrical assay of NO is based on the reaction of NO with oxyhaemoglobin. This study shows that peroxynitrite induces spectral changes of oxyhaemoglobin identical with those elicited by NO. Like a variety of other agents, peroxynitrite did not interfere with NO measurements using a Clark-type electrode, demonstrating that electrochemical detection has an advantage over the oxyhaemoglobin method for specific determination of NO.

Abstract
The optical spectrum of reduced myeloperoxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) displays an unusual red shift of the Soret band which is at 472 nm and the alpha-band which is at 636 nm. The spectral properties of myeloperoxidase can be modified by means of acid treatment. Upon short exposure to acid (pH 1.7) the red-shifted optical absorption spectrum of the reduced enzyme (lambda max at 472 nm) was blue-shifted (lambda max at 448 nm) but the spectrum of the reduced state could be restored by increasing the pH. By contrast, the resonance Raman spectra of both the oxidized and reduced enzyme are essentially the same at both pH 1.7 and pH 7.0. This shows that the optical spectrum and the resonance Raman spectrum are not directly correlated, which we interpret to indicate that the reversible effects of lower pH primarily affect the excited-state energy levels of the macrocycle. The EPR spectrum of the oxidized enzyme showed a reversible conversion from a high-spin rhombic spectrum (gx = 6.7, gy = 5.2) at neutral pH into a more axial high-spin spectrum (gx = gy = 5.8) at low pH. Upon prolonged exposure to acid (20 min) optical absorbance spectra, EPR spectra, resonance Raman spectra and the chlorinating activity were irreversibly affected. We propose that a negatively charged protonatable residue in the proximity of a pyrrole nucleus of the haem group is present that imposes the red shift in the optical absorption spectrum. This is consistent with the available X-ray structure data.
