TABLE 2.
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 |
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.
Kmvalues for H2O2 for T. fusca pseudoperoxidase and free cupric ions are similar.
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).
