TABLE 2.

Km and TNmax values for three catalytic systemsa

Catalyst Concn Km (mM) for H2O2 TNmax (s−1)
Horse radish peroxidase 1 nM heme or protein 0.74 2,220
T. fusca protein 30 nM protein 18b 0.102c
CuSO4 5 μM Cu(II) 22b 0.007c
a

Kinetic constants Km and TNmax are from the data in Fig. 6. Conditions were as described in the legend to Fig. 6 and Materials and Methods. 

b

Kmvalues for H2O2 for T. fusca pseudoperoxidase and free cupric ions are similar. 

c

Turnover for the T. fusca protein is ∼14 times that of free Cu, but the protein may be associated with up to 20 mol of Cu/mol of protein (17).
