Abstract

From a comparison of 9D s-HPODE and 13L s-HPODE and their methyl esters as substrates and inactivating agents of reticulocyte lipoxygenase it is concluded that the compounds inactivate the enzyme independently of any hydroperoxidase reaction. The protective effect of 4-nitrocatechol indicates the formation of Fe(III) complexes of the enzyme with the hydroperoxyfatty acid compounds prior to inactivation.
