Both superoxide dismutase and catalase are readily deactivated by singlet oxygen and by the radicals produced in the pyrolysis of 2,2'-azo-bis-(2-amidinpropano) under aerobic conditions. The rate constant for the loss of enzymatic activity induced by singlet oxygen are 3.9 X 10(7) and 2.5 X 10(7) M(-1) sec(-1) for SOD and catalase, respectively. The similarity between these values implies that in systems where SOD and catalase are exposed to similar singlet oxygen concentrations, it can be expected a parallel inactivation of both enzymes. The inactivation of both enzymes by the radicals produced by 2,2'-azo-bis-(2-amidinopropane) pyrolysis under aerobic conditions follows a first-order kinetics at low enzyme concentrations and a zero-order kinetics at higher concentrations. Although at low enzymatic concentrations the rate of inactivation of both enzymes is similar, this results from a compensation of effects because there are wide differences in the reactivity of both enzymes towards peroxyalkyl radicals. Catalase is considerably more reactive, but a large number of protein/radical reactive interactions are needed to inactivate one enzyme. On the other hand, the reactivity of SOD is smaller, but the average enzyme activity decreases by nearly 20% in each SOD/radical reactive interaction.
