The effect of H2O2 on the flavoenzyme glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger has been studied at pH 5.8 and 25[degree]. The enzyme is inactivated by H2O2. The reduced form is much more sensitive to H2O2 and is inactivated at least 100 times more readily than the oxidized form. The rate of inactivation of the reduced form is not dependent on the concentration of D-glucose. Properties of the inactive enzyme have also been studied. The molecular weight of the inactive glucose oxidase is the same as for the untreated enzyme, whereas the spectrum differs slightly. However, no chemical alterations were detected in the free flavin-adenine dinucleotide group after it had been released from the enzyme. Amino acid analysis showed that when oxidized and reduced glucose oxidase were treated with H2O2 under identical conditions slightly more methionine sulfoxide was found in the reduced H2O2-treated enzyme than in the oxidized H2O2-treated enzyme. It is therefore suggested that the inactivation of the enzyme involves modification of certain methionine residues located at or near the active site. Possible mechanisms for the inactivation of the reduced enzyme are discussed.
