Free-radical chemistry of sulfite.

چکیده
The free-radical chemistry of sulfite oxidation is reviewed. Chemical transformations of organic and biological molecules induced by sulfite oxidation are summarized. The kinetics of the free-radical oxidations of sulfite are discussed, as are the kinetics of the reactions of the sulfite-derived radicals SO3 and the peroxy derivative SO5 with organic compounds.

The formation of sulfur trioxide radical anion during the prostaglandin hydroperoxidase-catalyzed oxidation of bisulfite (hydrated sulfur dioxide).
The mechanism of prostaglandin synthase-dependent (bi)sulfite (hydrated sulfur dioxide) oxidation was investigated using an enzyme preparation derived from ram seminal vesicles. The horseradish peroxidase-catalyzed oxidation of (bi)sulfite was used as a model system. Incubation of (bi)sulfite with prostaglandin synthase and arachidonic acid, 15-hydroperoxyarachidonic acid, or H2O2 results in th...
متن کاملThe utility of superoxide dismutase in studying free radical reactions. II. The mechanism of the mediation of cytochrome c reduction by a variety of electron carriers.
The superoxide dismutase (dismutase) which has already been found to be useful in detecting the role of O2 ain certain enzymic reactions has here been shown to be applicable to the study of nonenzymic reactions, as well. The aerobic oxidation of sulfite, which proceeds by a free radical chain mechanism, has been investigated with the aid of superoxide dismutase. The “spontaneous” oxidation of s...
متن کاملIdentification of free radical intermediates in oxidized wine using electron paramagnetic resonance spin trapping.
Free radicals are thought to be key intermediates in the oxidation of wine, but their nature has not been established. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy was used to detect and identify several free radical species in wine under oxidative conditions with the aid of spin traps. The 1-hydroxylethyl radical was the sole radical species observed when α-(4-pyridyl-1-oxide)-N-tert-butylnitr...
متن کاملXanthine oxidase. III. Sulfite oxidation as an ultra sensitive assay.
Previous papers in this series have reported the hypoxanthinedependent oxidation of sulfite by cyanide-inhibited xanthine oxidase (1) and experiments which permitted postulation of the structure of the active site of this enzyme (2). In the present study, xanthine oxidase acting on its substrates has been found to initiate the aerobic oxidation of sulfite by free radical chains of great length ...
متن کامل(Bi)sulfite Oxidation by Copper,Zinc-Superoxide Dismutase: Sulfite-Derived, Radical-Initiated Protein Radical Formation
BACKGROUND Sulfur dioxide, formed during the combustion of fossil fuels, is a major air pollutant near large cities. Its two ionized forms in aqueous solution, sulfite and (bi)sulfite, are widely used as preservatives and antioxidants to prevent food and beverage spoilage. (Bi)sulfite can be oxidized by peroxidases to form the very reactive sulfur trioxide anion radical (*SO(3)-). This free rad...
