Figure 3
Illustration (according to [17]) of the pH threshold value above which the oxidation of the halogen by mammalian heme peroxidase will be thermodically unfavorable. The reduction potential of the couple Compound I/native enzyme and the couple halogen (X = chloride, bromide) HOX/OXā is expressed with an illustrative function of the pH, at a specific concentration of enzyme and substrates.
