    Abstract:
    The kinetic parameters of the reaction of horseradish peroxidase with CO have been determined at pH values between 10 and 3. At pH 7.0 the CO binding equilibrium constant L was measured using submicromolar concentrations of horseradish peroxidase; the value obtained corresponds to the ratio of the association and dissociation kinetic constants as expected for a simple binding mechanism to a monomeric hemeprotein. The CO association rate constant is pH-independent below pH 7, whereas in going from pH 7 to pH 11 a 2-fold increase can be detected, as previously reported (Kertesz, D., Antonini, E., Brunori, M., Wyman, J., and Zito, R. (1965) Biochemistry 4, 2672-2676). On the other hand, CO dissociation displays a peculiar pH rate profile characterized by a progressive decrease from pH 10 to pH 5 and by a very marked increase as the pH is further lowered to pH congruent to 3. Furthermore, the rate of CO dissociation is markedly enhanced in peroxidase reconstituted with protoheme dimethyl ester, suggesting a role of the propionates in the regulation of this process.
