On the Mechanism of Peroxidase Catalyzed Oxidations Studied by Means of Chemiluminescence Measurements.

Abstract
The enzymic oxidation of pyrogallol is accompanied by chemiiuminescence, the measurement of which provides a sensitive and useful assay method for peroxidatic activity of purified as well as for crude enzyme preparations. The present investigation is concerned with the characterization and kinetics of the luminescent species involved in this reaction.
