SUMMARY: Z-formyi!, 4-vinyl deuterohemin (1) and %vinyZ, I-fonnyZ deuterohemin(21 substituted horseradish peroxidases have been prepared from apoperoxidase and the respective hemins. The two hemins bind at different rates to the apoprotein and the resultant substituted peroxidases possess different vi&b Ze spectra and activities. These results indicate that the hemin 2 and 4 substituents interact with apoperotidase and are not exposed to the solvent. INTRODUCTION: tuents
