The systematic observation of the pH dependencies of the peroxidase activities of methemoglobin and catalase solutions with leucomalachite green(LMG) as the hydrogen donor revealed the fact that a high activity is generated when these hemoproteins are denatured by acid or alkali. The half-size subunit of methemoglobin and the 1/3 size subunit of catalase formed by the denaturation were found to be responsible for the activities generated. Absolute rate constants, k1 and k4, were determined for the peroxidase reaction by the half-size subunit of methemoglobin at the optimum pH 4.8. The k4 value which is the rate constant for the reaction with LMG was quite high and more than 500 times the value for the native molecule in the neutral solution, although the value was one-quarter the k4 value for horse-radish peroxidase. The k1 value for the reaction between the subunit and H2O2 was much smaller than the k1 values for common peroxidases, and was approximately one-hundredth the k4 value for the subunit.
