[Peroxidase activity of hemoglobin, modified at the carboxylic groups of heme and amino acids].
The effects of modification of heme carboxylic groups by omega-aminoenantic acid and L-phenylalamine on the peroxidase activity of hemoglobin were studied. For this purpose the peroxidase activities of the original compounds--hemin, hemin-aminoenantic acid, hemin-phenylalanine and hemoglobins prepared from the hemin and globin compounds--hemoglobin, aminoenantyl-hemoglobin and phenylalanine hemoglobin--were determined. The dependence of the peroxidase activity of these compounds on their concentrations and pH was analyzed. It was shown that 40--50% modification of the heme carboxylic groups by amino acids decreases the peroxidase activity of the modified hemins and that of modified hemoglobins reconstructed from these hemins and globin. A decrease of the catalytic activity of the hemoglobin derivatives is due to a lower peroxidase activity (as compared to hemin) of the modified hemins. It is thus concluded that the amino acid modification of the carboxylic groups of heme does not affect the heme-protein interactions in the hemoglobin molecule.
