Revised Manuscript Received March 11, 1988 abstract: Catalytic turnover of sodium azide by horseradish peroxidase, which produces the azidyl radical, results in inactivation of theenzyme with= 1.47 mM and &inact= 0.69 min-1. Inactivation of 80% of the enzyme requires approximately 60 equiv each of NaN3 and H202. The enzyme is completely inactivated by higher concentrations of these two agents, meso-Azidoheme as well as some residual heme are obtained when the prosthetic group of the partially inactivated enzyme is isolated and characterized. Reconstitution of horseradish peroxidase with mero-azidoheme yields an enzyme without detectable catalyticactivity even though reconstitution with heme itself gives fully active enzyme. The finding that catalytically generated nitrogen radicals add to the meso carbon of heme shows that biological meso additions are not restricted to carbon radicals. The analogous addition of oxygen radicals may trigger the normal and/or pathological degradation of heme.
