The interaction of chlorophyll a with superoxide anion was studied in an alkaline DMSO-water system. It was found that O2(-.), directly or via HO2., produces the chlorophyll enolate-ion (Molish's intermediate) that is oxidized to Mg-chlorine(s). The allomerization reaction was found to be inhibited by superoxide dismutase. A possible participation of oxygen radicals in chlorophyll degradation in plants is discussed.
在碱性二甲基亚砜 - 水体系中研究了叶绿素a与超氧阴离子的相互作用。发现超氧阴离子(O2(-.))直接或通过过氧化氢自由基(HO2.)产生叶绿素烯醇离子(莫利施中间体),该中间体被氧化为镁 - 氯(化合物)。发现超氧化物歧化酶抑制了异构化反应。讨论了氧自由基可能参与植物叶绿素降解的情况。
