Vanadium Compounds as Biocatalyst Models
Peroxidovanadium(V) and oxidovanadium(IV) compounds have been tested as peroxidase-similar compounds. Their catalytic performance was tested on phenol red and pyrogallol substrates. Bromination kinetic studies revealed Michaelis-Menten behavior with respect to phenol red for both complexes. Catalyti...

Summary: | Peroxidovanadium(V) and oxidovanadium(IV) compounds have been tested as peroxidase-similar compounds. Their catalytic performance was tested on phenol red and pyrogallol substrates. Bromination kinetic studies revealed Michaelis-Menten behavior with respect to phenol red for both complexes. Catalytic efficiency is ~ 10

. Both vanadium complexes showed the capacity to oxidize pyrogallol, but only the oxidovanadium (IV) complex follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to this substrate (
