O2-., whether generated photochemically, or introduced as a solution of KO2 in a nonprotic solvent, caused rapid oxidation of NADH in the presence, but not in the absence of vanadate. Superoxide dismutase inhibited this vanadate-stimulated oxidation of NADH, while catalase had no effect. This NADH oxidation appears to be a free-radical chain reaction whose average chain length was estimated to be 15 in the photochemical system. Vanadate stimulation of NADH oxidation by biological membranes can now be viewed as a sensitive indicator of O2-. production by those membranes.
超氧阴离子(O2-.),无论是通过光化学方式生成,还是作为超氧化钾在非质子溶剂中的溶液引入,在有钒酸盐存在时会导致NADH快速氧化,但在无钒酸盐时则不会。超氧化物歧化酶抑制了这种由钒酸盐刺激的NADH氧化,而过氧化氢酶则没有作用。这种NADH氧化似乎是一个自由基链反应,在光化学系统中其平均链长估计为15。现在可以将钒酸盐对生物膜NADH氧化的刺激视为这些膜产生超氧阴离子(O2-.)的一个敏感指标。
