M. Casny et al., A O-17 NMR study of peroxide binding to the active centre of bromoperoxidase from Ascophyllum nodosum, J INORG BIO, 80(1-2), 2000, pp. 157-160
The O-17 NMR of bromoperoxidase in Tris buffer at pH 8 treated with O-17-en
riched H2O2 reveals direct binding of peroxide to active site vanadium both
in the symmetric, and asymmetric modes, the latter possibly due to hydrope
roxide. In addition, non-active site HVO2(O-2)(2)(2-) is detected. The resu
lts are counter-checked with NMR data on peroxovanadium model compounds. (C
