The kinetics of horseradish peroxidase catalyzed scopoletin oxidation were observed to be sigmoidal. The apparent Kms for scopoletin is 0.9 mM. Inhibition of scopoletin oxidation by indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) appears to be non competitive. Non competitive inhibition by IAA suggests a more significant role of the peroxidase protein matrix in regulating the activity of the heme moiety.
