The kinetics of the oxidation of iodide ion by horseradish peroxidase compound II have been studied as a function of pH at 25° and ionic strength of 0.11. The logarithm of the second-order rate constant decreases linearly from 2.3 × 105 to 0.1 M−1 s−1 with increasing pH over the pH range 2.7 to 9.0. The pH dependence of the reaction is explained in terms of an acid dissociation outside the pH range of the study.

In this study, the oxidative destruction of bromophenol blue dye with hydrogen peroxide was carried out at pH 4.0-4.1 in the presence of a commercial horseradish peroxidase, as well as peroxidase isolated directly from horseradish roots (Armoracia rusticana). To determine peroxidase activity, a model reaction of the oxidation of phenol to quinone was used. With a dye concentration of 32.7 μM, the optimal concentration of hydrogen peroxide was 0.04 mM at peroxidase concentration of 1.15 nM. The optimal temperature of the enzymatic reaction was determined: at 23 °С for 10 min 90% of the dye was exposed to destruction. When the temperature rises to 50 °С, the reaction rate decreases, and the degree of destruction is 56% for the same time interval. It was shown that the initial rate of peroxidase oxidation of bromophenol blue follows Michaelis-Menten equation. The kinetic parameters of the enzymatic reaction were determined by linearizing Michaelis-Menten equation in Lineweaver-Burk coordinates. It was found that for the peroxidase oxidation reaction of bromophenol blue Michaelis constant and maximum rate were 42.7 μM and 57.5 μM·min–1, respectively. In this work, а high percentage of dye degradation was also achieved when using peroxidase isolated from horseradish roots. The experiments were conducted at a temperature of 30оС and pH 4.1. With the increase in the volume of the extract from 0.1 to 0.2 ml, the percentage decolorization increases from 75% to 90%. The results demonstrate the high degradation efficiency of bromophenol blue with the participation of the commercial horseradish peroxidase and peroxidase isolated from horseradish roots. Enzymatic oxidative degradation can be considered as an alternative to biodegradation.

A kinetic study has been carried out over the pH range of 2.63–9.37 for the reaction of horseradish peroxidase with hydrogen peroxide to form compound 1 of the enzyme. Analysis of the results, indicates that there are two kinetic influencing, ionizable groups on the enzyme with pKa values of 3.2 and 3.9. Protonation of these groups results in a decrease in the rate of reaction of the enzyme with H2O2.A previous study of the kinetics of cyanide binding to horseradish peroxidase (Ellis, W. D. &Dunford, H. B.: Biochemistry 7, 2054–2062 (1968)) has been extended down to pH 2.55, and analysis of these results also indicates the presence of two kinetically important ionizable groups on the enzyme with pKa values of 2.9 and 3.9.
