Pulse-generation of O2- by a flash was used to determine the reactivity of O2-, O2- was produced within 10 ms by a flash of light through the excitation of FMN in the presence of N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine and oxygen. Kinetic analysis of cytochrome c reduction by O2- generated by flash yielded the reaction rate constant between cytochrome c and O2- and the spontaneous disproportionation rate constant of O2-. We applied it for superoxide dismutase assay using a linear relation between superoxide dismutase concentration and the apparent rate constant of cytochrome c reduction by O2-. The catalytic rate constant and activation energy at pH 7.3 of bovine liver Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase were found to be 1.75 x 10(9) M-1 . s-1 at 25 degrees C and 26.9 kJ . M-1, respectively. The kinetics of O2- decay can be also monitored at 240 nm in this flash-photometric system and gave the spontaneous disproportionation rate constant of O2- and the catalytic rate constant of superoxide dismutase.
