Fungal manganese peroxidase was found to convert the persistent chemical warfare agent adamsite (phenarsarzin chloride) in a cell-free reaction mixture containing sodium malonate, Mn(2+) ions, and reduced glutathione. The organo-arsenical compound disappeared completely within 48 h accompanied by the formation of a more polar metabolite with a clearly modified UV spectrum. Thus, As(III) in the adamsite molecule was oxidized by manganese peroxidase to As(V) which added dioxygen and released chloride.
在含有丙二酸钠、锰离子(Mn(2+))和还原型谷胱甘肽的无细胞反应混合物中,发现真菌锰过氧化物酶能转化持久性化学战剂亚当氏气(氯化二苯胺胂)。这种有机砷化合物在48小时内完全消失,同时形成了一种极性更强的代谢产物,其紫外光谱有明显改变。因此,亚当氏气分子中的砷(III)被锰过氧化物酶氧化为砷(V),后者添加了双氧并释放出氯离子。
