The effect of multicopper oxidase and quinone inhibitors on in vitro Mn(II) oxidation.

Inhibitor Rate of Mn(II) oxidation in cell-free extracts of
Erythrobacter sp. SD21
(% of activity without inhibition)
Cyanide 100 µM, 1 mM 76, 19
o-phenanthroline 10, 100 µM 100, 68
Azide 100 µM, 1 mM 33, 2
Phenylhydrazine 20 µM* 0
*

in the absence of exogenously added 10 µM PQQ. In all other cases, Mn(II) oxidase activity is measured as described in Materials and Methods.
