The Oxidation of 3,5-Diiodotyrosine by Peroxidase and Hydrogen Peroxide.

Abstract
The reaction between 3, 5-diiodotyrosine and hydrogen peroxide in the presence of peroxidase has been studied. Some of the oxidation products have been identified by radiochromatography. 3,5-Diiodotyrosine was converted to 4-hydroxy-3, 5-diiodophenylpyruvic acid, 4-hydroxy-3,5-diiodobenzaldehyde and 3,5-diiodobenzoquinone. Ammonia, in-organic iodide, 3-iodotyrosine and unknown compounds were also formed.
