Popis: Dual positional specific maize lipoxygenase-1 catalyzed the formation of racemic mixtures of four possible regioisomers and was strongly inhibited by the radical scavenger, 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinoxy radical. Molecular modeling studies indicated that the oxygen-binding cavity is segregated from the substrate-binding cavity. The data suggest that a bis-allylic radical reaction intermediate is generated enzymatically, released from the enzyme active site, and subsequently oxygenated outside of the enzyme active site by a nonenzymatic mechanism.
