The effects of oxidant, pH and ligands on iron- and copper-catalyzed ascorbate oxidation have been examined. The formation of the catalyst-substrate complex is affected by pH, whereas oxidant affects its breakdown. With copper-ion catalysis, ligands inhibit competitively. With iron catalysis, on the
Ascorbate is catalytically oxidized by a coupled iron-ceruioplasmin system, the iron ions functioning as a red/ox cycling intermediate between ceruloplasmin and ascorbate. Serum albumin, an iron binding compound, was found to stimulate the ascorbate oxidation rate. It is proposed that ferrous ions r
