Description
Horseradish peroxidase readily combines with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and the resultant [HRP-H2O2] complex can oxidize a wide variety of hydrogen donors.
Abbreviation: HRP
MitoPedia methods: Fluorometry
Application in HRFR
- HRP: Horseradish peroxidase (peroxidase from horseradish Type II, essentially salt-free, lyophilized powder, 150-250 units/mg solid); Sigma P 8250, store at 4 Β°C.
Preparation of 500 U/ml stock solution (dissolved in MiR05):
- 1) Weigh 3,33 mg
- 2) Dissolve in 1 ml MiR05.
- 3) Aliquot 200Β΅l into 500Β΅l Eppendorf tubes.
- The use of horseradish peroxidase type II in fluorometric measurement of peroxide production is recommended by Laszlo Tretter.
Reaction
- Donor + H2O2 β Oxidized Donor + 2 H2O
Known inhibitors
