Abstract
⺠Peroxidatic electron donors stimulate KatG catalase activity by up to 14-fold. ⺠The stimulatory effect is optimal under conditions that favor peroxidase activity. ⺠The stimulatory mechanism produces minimal accumulation of oxidized electron donor. ⺠Aromatic amines are effective stimulators; phenols and ascorbate are not. ⺠An intermediate reminiscent of FeIII-O2â heme dominates during stimulated turnover.
