Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the peroxidase activity of Hb with different concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and compare it with hypochlorous acid effect on Hb. Hypochlorous acid at higher concentrations decomposed Hb and heme, releasing fee iron ion from the metal center. High concentrations of hydrogen peroxide switched the peroxidase activity of Hb towards the partial Hb and heme destruction. Heme alone was degraded showing that the Hb conformation and protein environment protects Hb from the distraction in the presence of highly increased hydrogen peroxide concentration that occurs as a result of oxidative stress. In the presence of CT-DNA acted inhibition of the peroxidase activity of Hb was observed signaling inhibited hydrogen peroxide consumption.
