Figure 3.
Formation and decay of Compound I following reaction of R48A/W191F CcP with H2O2 by rapid-scan stopped flow mixing of 5 μM protein against 20 μM H2O2 in 100 mM KPi pH6, 25C. Data analysis by single value decomposition using a model for sequential conversion of three species, A, B and C, produced the spectra and time courses shown in the lower and upper panels respectively, and represent the ferric, Compound I and Compound II states. Pseudo-first order rate constants for the formation of Compound I are plotted as a function of H2O2 (inset) to give a bimolecular rate of 2.96 × 106 M−1sec−1.
