When cysteine is oxidized by oxygen, hydrogen peroxide is formed, and hydrogen peroxide is very toxic to Peptostreptococcus anaerobius VPI 4330-1. Native and inactivated superoxide dismutase increased the rate of oxidation of cysteine and thereby potentiated the toxic effect of cysteine. A similar increase in the rate of oxidation of cysteine and in the toxicity of cysteine was obtained with Cu2+.
当半胱氨酸被氧气氧化时,会生成过氧化氢,而过氧化氢对厌氧消化链球菌VPI 4330-1具有很强的毒性。天然和失活的超氧化物歧化酶会提高半胱氨酸的氧化速率,从而增强半胱氨酸的毒性作用。用Cu2+也能使半胱氨酸的氧化速率和毒性产生类似的增加。
