Abstract
Bovine milk lactoperoxidase, eel acetylcholinesterase, and Aeromonas aminopeptidase were photooxidized and inactivated in broad-spectrum visible light in the presence of 2,3-butanedione and 1-phenyl-1,2-propanedione. Methylglyoxal caused similar effects at 254 nm. 2-Thiol-L-histidine and 3-methyl-L-histidine protected the enzymes against photoinactivation more effectively then N3-, even at a molar ratio of 2:1 (protector to enzyme). These compounds also delayed the photoinactivation of acetylcholinesterase, induced by ultraviolet light.
