Abstract excerpt
A tyrosyl radical generated in the peroxidase cycle of prostaglandin H synthase-1 (PGHS-1) can serve as the initial oxidant for arachidonic acid (AA) in the cyclooxygenase reaction. Peroxides also induce radical formation in prostaglandin H synthase-2 (PGHS-2) and in PGHS-1 reconstituted with mangano protoporphyrin IX (MnPGHS-1), but the EPR spectra of these radicals are distinct from the initial tyrosyl radical...
