Abstract

Scopoletin was found to be a substrate for a single anodic isoperoxidase isolated from tobacco callus tissue W-38. Isolation of this peroxidase was accomplished using DEAE-cellulose chromatography. This isoperoxidase catalysed the destruction of scopoletin in the presence of H 2O 2 only. An enzyme assay for the scopoletin reaction was developed. The pH optimum of the enzyme was 5·5 and the apparent K m s for scopoletin and H 2O 2 were 0·6 and 0·9 rnM respectively.
