Formation of electronically excited states during the oxidation of arachidonic acid by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase.
E Cadenas et al.
Methods in enzymology, 319, 67-77 (2000-07-25)
M Bakovic et al.
The Journal of biological chemistry, 271(4), 2048-2056 (1996-01-26)
The reactions of native prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase with structurally different hydroperoxides have been investigated by using kinetic spectrophotometric scan and conventional and sequential mixing stopped-flow experiments. The second order rate constants for compound I formation are (5.9 +/- 0.1) x
A l Tsai et al.

Prostaglandin H synthase (PGHS) is a heme protein that catalyzes both the cyclooxygenase and peroxidase reactions needed to produce prostaglandins G2 and H2 from arachidonic acid. Replacement of the heme group by mangano protoporphyrin IX largely preserves the cyclooxygenase activity
E D Thuresson et al.
The Journal of biological chemistry, 275(12), 8501-8507 (2000-03-18)
Arachidonic acid is converted to prostaglandin G(2) (PGG(2)) by the cyclooxygenase activities of prostaglandin endoperoxide H synthases (PGHSs) 1 and 2. The initial, rate-limiting step is abstraction of the 13-proS hydrogen from arachidonate which, for PGG(2) formation, is followed by
T E Eling et al.
The Journal of biological chemistry, 266(19), 12348-12355 (1991-07-05)
Prostaglandin H synthase oxidizes arachidonic acid to prostaglandin G2 (PGG2) via its cyclooxygenase activity and reduces PGG2 to prostaglandin H2 by its peroxidase activity. The purpose of this study was to determine if endogenously generated PGG2 is the preferred substrate
