Reduction of ferricytochrome c, methemoglobin and metmyoglobin by hydroxyl and alcohol radicals

Abstract: SummaryWe have studied the reaction of ferricytochrome c, methemoglobin and metmyoglobin with OH and alcohol radicals {methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol and glycerol). These radicals can be divided into three groups:1. The OH radicals which reduce the ferricytochrome c with a yield of (30 _+ 10)% and methemoglobin with a yield of (40 + 10)%. They do not reduce metmyoglobin. The reduction is not a normal bimolecular reaction but is most probably an intramolecular electron transfer of a protein radical.2. Metha… Show more

“…The reactions of cytochrome c with various radicals generated by pulse radiolysis has been reviewed [17]. Briefly, hydroxyl and hydrogen radicals react with iron(II) cytochrome c and iron(III) cytochrome c at diffusion-controlled rates to ultimately produce, respectively, partially iron(III) cytochrome c and iron(II) cytochrome c; the primary targets are amino acid residues, which then undergo redox reactions with the haem [18][19][20][21][22]. Br 2…”

“…In the presence of iron(II) cytochrome c or iron(III) cytochrome c, reactions of hydroxyl and hydrogen radicals with the protein compete with the reactions in Eqs. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6: hydroxyl and hydrogen radicals react with iron(III) cytochrome c with rate constants of 1.4 • 10 10 M -1 s -1 [22] and 1.1 • 10 10 M -1 s -1 [18,19], respectively, to give, among other products, 25-55% iron(II) cytochrome c [21] and 50% iron(II) cytochrome c [18,19], respectively. The corresponding rate constants for the reactions of these radicals with iron(II) cytochrome c are higher than 1 • 10 10 M -1 s -1 [20] and 1.3 • 10 10 M -1 s -1 , respectively [19].…”
