The present study aimed to investigate, for the first time, the rate of the oxidation reaction of some derivatives of phenol and aromatic amines, that is, pyrogallol, catechol, resorcinol, ortho-aminophenol, meta-aminophenol, para-aminophenol, ortho-phenylenediamine, and para-phenylenediamine, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide in pure and magnetized solvents using horseradish peroxidase enzyme. The reaction was studied in the absence and presence of a magnetized solvent under completely identical conditions. The results showed that magnetized solvent could change the structure of the enzyme and reduce its activity. In addition, it affected the rate of oxidation of the selected derivatives through altering the strength of the hydrogen bonds of the system. The changes in the structure and activity of the enzyme were examined using UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy as well as viscosity measurement technique. Examination of the secondary structure via the far UV-CD spectrum indicated the increase in the alpha helical structure in the magnetized solvent. When dissolved in a magnetized solvent, hydrogen peroxide as an enzyme substrate reduced the rate of enzymatic reaction and provided lower saturation conditions for the enzyme compared with when it was dissolved in the pure solvent.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010636 Phenols Benzene derivatives that include one or more hydroxyl groups attached to the ring structure.
D006735 Horseradish Peroxidase An enzyme isolated from horseradish which is able to act as an antigen. It is frequently used as a histochemical tracer for light and electron microscopy. Its antigenicity has permitted its use as a combined antigen and marker in experimental immunology. Alpha-Peroxidase,Ferrihorseradish Peroxidase,Horseradish Peroxidase II,Horseradish Peroxidase III,Alpha Peroxidase,II, Horseradish Peroxidase,III, Horseradish Peroxidase,Peroxidase II, Horseradish,Peroxidase III, Horseradish,Peroxidase, Ferrihorseradish,Peroxidase, Horseradish
D000588 Amines A group of compounds derived from ammonia by substituting organic radicals for the hydrogens. (From Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Amine
D014466 Ultraviolet Rays That portion of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately below the visible range and extending into the x-ray frequencies. The longer wavelengths (near-UV or biotic or vital rays) are necessary for the endogenous synthesis of vitamin D and are also called antirachitic rays; the shorter, ionizing wavelengths (far-UV or abiotic or extravital rays) are viricidal, bactericidal, mutagenic, and carcinogenic and are used as disinfectants.
