Abstract
Sulphoxidation of compounds capable of undergoing biological sulphoxidation has been demonstrated in a model system (NADH–phenazine methosulphate–O2), known to generate superoxide anions (O2−). Addition of superoxide dismutase to this system results in complete inhibition, suggesting the involvement of O2− in sulphoxidation.
