title: Oxidase-peroxidase reaction: kinetics of peroxidase-catalysed oxidation of 2-aminophenol.
abstract: Possible reaction pathways that may lead to horseradish peroxidase inactivation during the aerobic oxidation of 2-aminophenol were investigated using extended kinetic curves. A kinetic model involving the formation of a low-reactive species, Compound III, was proposed and several rate constants were calculated using an optimisation computing program. Sensitivity analysis allowed to conclude that both oxidase and peroxidase cycles occur in 2-aminophenol oxidation.
