Abstract
The kinetics of oxidation of carcinogenic benzo(a)pyrene (0.1 nM solution in phosphate buffer) catalyzed by enzyme protein of soil and water plants (potato tubers and alga Nitella sp.) has been studied. The benzo(a)pyrene oxidation rate is determined by the phenoloxidase activity of the enzyme protein from both sources to an equal degree and expressed by the Michaelis‐Menten equation. The values for kcat and apparent Km were (0.97 ± 0.14) Ms−1 and 33 ± 6 μM, respectively.
