โฆ Synopsis
Hydrogen peroxide formed during the course of the copper(l1)-catalysed oxidation o f cysteamine with oxygen was continuously determined by a peroxidase (POD)-catalysed luminol chemiluminescence (CL) method. Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), lactoperoxidase (LPO) and Arthromyces ramosus peroxidase (ARP) were used as a CL catalyst. The respective PODs gave specific CL intensity-time profiles. HRP caused a CL delay, and ARP gave a time-response curve which followed the production rate of H202. LPO gave only a weak CL flash which decayed promptly. These differences o f CL response curves could be explained in terms o f the different reactivities of PODs for superoxide anion and the different formation rate o f luminol radicals in the peroxidation of luminol catalysed by POD.
