The mechanism of haem degradation in vitro. Kinetic evidence for the formation of a haem-oxygen complex.

S B Brown, S E Thomas.   

Abstract

The rate of haem degradation in aqueous pyridine shows a saturation dependence on O2 concentration. CO competitively inhibits the reaction. This is evidence for formation of an iron-O2 complex and is consistent with an intramolecular pathway for haem degradation.
