The flexibility of the sol-gel process allows multiple approaches to enzymatic activity monitoring. The formation of hydrogen peroxide can be followed by optical measmements using another enzymatic reaction in which the oxidation of an organic dye is catalyzed by a peroxidase (HorseRadish Peroxidase HRP), coentrapped with GOD. The presence of glucose in the solution can also be detected via electrochemical means by following the redox reactions at the active site of GOD. However, because of the steric hindrance of the protein molecule, a ferrocene mediator has to be used in order to transfer electrons from the hidden active site to the electrode. Alternatively, oxygen consumption can be measmed with a Clark electrode. The hybrid gel is deposited on a Pt cathode... 

The MnP catalytic cycle resembles that of the classical heme peroxidase horseradish peroxidase [141], and also LiP [142], A two-electron transfer from hydrogen peroxide to native MnP results in MnP Compound I, which can then perform a one... 

Within the scope of the present survey, we will limit the presentation of peroxidase structures and activities to some classical examples which have been extensively studied during recent decades a plant peroxidase (horseradish peroxidase), a yeast peroxidase (cytochrome c peroxidase), three fungal peroxidases (chloroperoxidase, ligninase, and manganese peroxidase), and two human peroxidases (myeloperoxidase and thyroid peroxidase).

It should be noted that a number of different enzyme preparations can now be purchased directly from manufacturing chemists. It must be emphasised that the activity of an enzyme, whether purchased or prepared in the laboratory, may vary between rather wide limits. The activity is dependent on the source of the enzyme, the presence of poisons and also on the temperature. It appears, for example, that the quality of horseradish peroxidase depends upon the season of the year at which the root is obtained from the ground. It cannot be expected therefore that all the experiments described below will work always with the precision characteristic of an organic reaction proceeding under accurately known conditions.

The emission yield from the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-catalyzed luminol oxidations can be kicreased as much as a thousandfold upon addition of substituted phenols, eg, -iodophenol, -phenylphenol, or 6-hydroxybenzothiazole (119). Enhanced chemiluminescence, as this phenomenon is termed, has been the basis for several very sensitive immunometric assays that surpass the sensitivity of radioassay (120) techniques and has also been developed for detection of nucleic acid probes ia dot-slot. Southern, and Northern blot formats (121). 

Chemiluminescence and bioluminescence are also used in immunoassays to detect conventional enzyme labels (eg, alkaline phosphatase, P-galactosidase, glucose oxidase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, horseradish peroxidase, microperoxidase, xanthine oxidase). The enhanced chemiluminescence assay for horseradish peroxidase (luminol-peroxide-4-iodophenol detection reagent) and various chemiluminescence adamantyl 1,2-dioxetane aryl phosphate substrates, eg, (11) and (15) for alkaline phosphatase labels are in routine use in immunoassay analyzers and in Western blotting kits (261—266). 

Other specific discovery assays have been used such as differential inhibition of a vancomycin resistant S. aureus strain and its susceptible parent, and an assay based on antagonism of the antibacterial activity by N,A/-diacetyl-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala [24570-39-6] a tripeptide analogue of the dalbaheptides receptor. AppHcation of this latter test to 1936 cultures (90) led to the isolation of 42 dalbaheptides, six of which, including kibdelin (Table 3), parvodicin (Table 3), and actinoidin A2 (68) were novel. A colorimetric assay based on competition between horseradish peroxidase bound teicoplanin and the... 

Catalytic oxidation of isobutyraldehyde with air at 30—50°C gives isobutyric acid [79-31-2] ia 95% yield (5). Certain enzymes, such as horseradish peroxidase, cataly2e the reaction of isobutyraldehyde with molecular oxygen to form triplet-state acetone and formic acid with simultaneous chemiluminescence (6). 

A method of detecting herbicides is proposed the photosynthetic herbicides act by binding to Photosystem II (PS II), a multiunit chlorophyll-protein complex which plays a vital role in photosynthesis. The inhibition of PS II causes a reduced photoinduced production of hydrogen peroxide, which can be measured by a chemiluminescence reaction with luminol and the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The sensing device proposed combines the production and detection of hydrogen peroxide in a single flow assay by combining all the individual steps in a compact, portable device that utilises micro-fluidic components. 

According to Reichl et al. (2000), the oxidation of pholasin by compound I or II of horseradish peroxidase induces an intense light emission, whereas native horseradish peroxidase shows only a small effect. The luminescence of pholasin by native myeloperoxidase (verdoperoxidase) is diminished by preincubation with catalase, which is interpreted as the result of the removal of a trace amount of naturally occurring H2O2 in the buffer (about 10-8 M) that forms compound I... 

H2O2 was 2.9 x 10-6 M. A requirement for O2 could not be detected, suggesting that 02 is not involved in the luminescence reaction. The luciferase was found to be a peroxidase that catalyzes peroxidation of the luciferin, and it can be substituted with horseradish peroxidase. 

One of the most used systems involves use of horseradish peroxidase, a 3-diketone (mosl commonly 2,4-pentandione), and hydrogen peroxide." " " Since these enzymes contain iron(II), initiation may involve decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by a redox reaction with formation of hydroxy radicals. However, the proposed initiation mechanism- involves a catalytic cycle with enzyme activation by hydrogen peroxide and oxidation of the [3-diketone to give a species which initiates polymerization. Some influence of the enzyme on tacticity and molecular... 

Neuroanatomists have taken advantage of the phenomenon of fast retrograde transport to locate remote nerve cell bodies in the CNS of an experimental animal that are connected to an identified axonal fiber tract whose origin is uncertain. The tracer material [purified horseradish peroxidase (HRP) enzyme] is injected in the region of the axon terminals, where it is taken up by endocytosis and then is carried by retrograde axonal transport over a period of several hours to days back to the nerve cell body. The animal is sacrificed, and the enzyme tracer is localized by staining thin sections of the brain for peroxidase activity.

In hiphasic water/1L mixtures, the latter can he used as immohilization systems. This idea was used for the synthesis of conducting polyanihne hy IL-immohilized horseradish peroxidase [68]. Tuning the IL hydrophohicity hy changing the anionic component allowed the increase in the yield of the product hy altering the affinity of the product to the IL. After completion of the reaction, the IL phase was separated, facilitating the recovery of the enzyme. 

As a result of the micellar environment, enzymes and proteins acquire novel conformational and/or dynamic properties, which has led to an interesting research perspective from both the biophysical and the biotechnological points of view [173-175], From the comparison of some properties of catalase and horseradish peroxidase solubilized in wa-ter/AOT/n-heptane microemulsions with those in an aqueous solution of AOT it was ascertained that the secondary structure of catalase significantly changes in the presence of an aqueous micellar solution of AOT, whereas in AOT/n-heptane reverse micelles it does not change. On the other hand, AOT has no effect on horseradish peroxidase in aqueous solution, whereas slight changes in the secondary structure of horseradish peroxidase in AOT/n-heptane reverse micelles occur [176],... 

The sensitivity of enzyme assays can also be exploited to detect proteins that lack catalytic activity. Enzyme-linked immunoassays (ELlSAs) use antibodies covalently finked to a reporter enzyme such as alkafine phosphatase or horseradish peroxidase, enzymes whose products are readily detected. When serum or other samples to be tested are placed in a plastic microtiter plate, the proteins adhere to the plastic surface and are immobilized. Any remaining absorbing areas of the well are then blocked by adding a nonantigenic protein such as bovine serum albumin. A solution of antibody covalently linked to a reporter enzyme is then added. The antibodies adhere to the immobilized antigen and these are themselves immobilized. Excess free antibody molecules are then removed by washing. The presence and quantity of bound antibody are then determined by adding the substrate for the reporter enzyme.
