摘要
The generation of O2•- in the reaction of reduced flavins and several flavoproteins has been shown. This has been demonstrated by the ability to catalyse the aerobic reduction of cytochrome c and the inhibition of this reduction by erythrocuprein. In contrast to the results with the intact enzyme, the reduction of cytochrome c by deflavoxanthine oxidase is not inhibited by erythrocuprein, indicating that the site of production of O2•- in the native enzyme is flavin, rather than non-heme iron. © 1969.
