N2 - Ferric leghemoglobin in the presence of H2O2 is known to give rise to protein radicals, at least one of which is centred on a tyrosine residue. These radicals are quenched by at least two processes. The first one involves an intramolecular heme-protein cross-link probably involving the tyrosine radical; this leads to the formation of a green compound with spectral characteristics differing markedly from those of ferryl and ferric leghemoglobin. This green compound cannot be reduced by dithionite or ascorbate, precluding any role for this species as an oxygen carrier. It exhibits modified EPR and pyridine haemochromogen spectra, indicating that alterations occur at the porphyrin macrocycle level.
