2-Chloro-1,4-dimethoxybenzene (2Cl-1,4-DMB) oxidation by lignin peroxidase (LiP) proceeds via the formation of the 2Cl-1,4-DMB cation radical as indicated by ESR and UV/vis spectroscopy. The products of the LiP-catalyzed oxidation of 2Cl-1,4-DMB were identified as 2-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone and the dimers dichlorotetramethoxybiphenyl and chloro(chlorodimethoxyphenyl)benzoquinone. The addition of anisyl alcohol (AA) rapidly quenched the 2Cl-1,4-DMB cation radical optical absorption bands, suggesting that the cation radical directly mediates the oxidation of AA. When LiP reactions are conducted in the presence of 50 microM 2Cl-1,4-DMB, the enzyme is inactivated; however, this inactivation can be prevented by the addition of AA. This also suggests that the 2Cl-1,4-DMB cation radical formed in the reaction, in turn, oxidizes AA.
如电子顺磁共振(ESR)和紫外/可见光谱所示,木质素过氧化物酶(LiP)催化2-氯-1,4-二甲氧基苯(2Cl-1,4-DMB)的氧化过程通过形成2Cl-1,4-DMB阳离子自由基进行。LiP催化2Cl-1,4-DMB氧化的产物被鉴定为2-氯-1,4-苯醌以及二聚体二氯四甲氧基联苯和氯(氯代二甲氧基苯基)苯醌。添加茴香醇(AA)可迅速淬灭2Cl-1,4-DMB阳离子自由基的光吸收带,这表明阳离子自由基直接介导了AA的氧化。当在50微摩尔的2Cl-1,4-DMB存在下进行LiP反应时,该酶会失活;然而,添加AA可防止这种失活。这也表明反应中形成的2Cl-1,4-DMB阳离子自由基反过来会氧化AA。
