From pulse radiolysis measurements in oxygenated aqueous solution, the semioxidized tryptophan radical (Trp.- formed by the one-electron oxidation of Trp by Br2- radical--has been shown to oxidize the superoxide radical anion with a rate constant of k = 2 x 10(9) M-1 s-1. Proof of this reaction is found in addition of superoxide dismutase (SOD) to the system, which totally eliminates the contribution of the Trp. + O2- mechanism to Trp. decay. Little, if any, reaction of molecular oxygen with Trp. may be observed on the time scale of the pulse radiolysis experiment.
通过对含氧水溶液进行脉冲辐解测量,已表明半氧化色氨酸自由基(由Br2-自由基对色氨酸进行单电子氧化形成的Trp·)能以速率常数k = 2×10⁹ M⁻¹ s⁻¹氧化超氧阴离子自由基。在体系中加入超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)可证明该反应,这完全消除了Trp· + O2-机制对Trp·衰减的贡献。在脉冲辐解实验的时间尺度上,几乎观察不到分子氧与Trp·的反应。
