title: [Oxidation of cytochrome b5 reduced by ascorbic acid].
abstract: The steady-state levels of aerobic and anaerobic reduction of cytochrome b5 by ascorbic acid and the initial rates of cytochrome b5 reduction in the presence of ascorbic acid and of anaerobic cytochrome P-450 reduction in the presence of NADH were used to calculate the rate constants for cytochrome b5 oxidation. The rate constant for cytochrome b5 autooxidation in the membrane is equal to that for isolated cytochrome b5, i. e., 5 X 10(-3) s-1 (37 degrees C). The rate constant for the second cytochrome b5 oxidation reaction in the membrane, i. e., electron transfer to cytochrome P-450, is equal to 140 X 10(-3) s-1 (37 degrees C).
