Singlet oxygen generation from the peroxidase-catalysed aerobic oxidation of an activated CH2 substrate

Abstract Photon emission, emission spectra, the product distribution, the effect of D2O and quenchers and steady state techniques were proposed to ascertain the involvement of singlet oxygen in a biological process. In particular, these experiments led to the conclusion that singlet oxygen is present in the reactions of malonaldehyde catalysed by horseradish peroxidase.
