Studies on Horseradish Peroxidase. XIII. The Kinetic Effect of Cyanide on the Oxidation–Reduction Cycle

Abstract

The effect of cyanide on the steady-state oxidation of ferrocyanide by horseradish peroxidase was studied at pH values 9.00, 7.10, and 5.00. An inhibition was observed which could be explained by the binding of cyanide only to native horseradish peroxidase. Spectra in the Soret region supported these conclusions.
