Abstract
[reaction: see text] Compound I is the heme-iron(IV)-oxo porphyrin radical cation formed in peroxidase and catalase enzymes by reaction with hydrogen peroxide. As an alternative to chemical oxidations of porphyrin-iron(III) species, various compound I species were produced by 355 nm laser flash photolysis photooxidation of the corresponding compound II species, porphyrin-iron(IV)-oxo derivatives. The method is demonstrated by production and kinetic studies of the compound I species from 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)porphyrin-iron, from horseradish peroxidase, and from wild-type horse skeletal myoglobin.
