Abstract
The formation of vitamin K epoxide and the vitamin K-dependent carboxylation of glutamic acid residues present in synthetic substrates and decarboxyprothrombin are both inhibited by superoxide dismutase. Catalase only inhibits the generation of vitamin K epoxide, suggesting that the carboxylation and epoxidation reactions are not inter-dependent.Entities:
