1 Thiocyanate and chloride as competing substrates for myeloperoxidase. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
2 The neutrophil enzyme myeloperoxidase uses H2O2 to oxidize chloride, bromide, iodide and thiocyanate to their respective hypohalous acids. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
3 Our aim was to establish whether myeloperoxidase oxidizes thiocyanate in the presence of chloride at physiological concentrations of these substrates. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
4 The relative specificity constants for chloride, bromide and thiocyanate were 1:60:730 respectively, indicating that thiocyanate is by far the most favoured substrate for myeloperoxidase. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
5 The relative specificity constants for chloride, bromide and thiocyanate were 1:60:730 respectively, indicating that thiocyanate is by far the most favoured substrate for myeloperoxidase. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
6 In the presence of 100 mM chloride, myeloperoxidase catalysed the production of hypothiocyanite at concentrations of thiocyanate as low as 25 microM. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
7 The rate of H2O2 loss catalysed by myeloperoxidase in the presence of 100 mM chloride doubled when 100 microM thiocyanate was added, and was maximal with 1mM thiocyanate. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
8 The rate of H2O2 loss catalysed by myeloperoxidase in the presence of 100 mM chloride doubled when 100 microM thiocyanate was added, and was maximal with 1mM thiocyanate. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
9 This indicates that at plasma concentrations of thiocyanate and chloride, myeloperoxidase is far from saturated. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
10 We conclude that thiocyanate is a major physiological substrate of myeloperoxidase, regardless of where the enzyme acts. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
