Abstract
Stopped flow experiments gave evidence of the formation of a biliverdin-superoxide complex and/or a biliverdin radical anion by reaction of aqueous O2− with biliverdin. Such transient species are likely intermediates both in the bleaching of biliverdin, during exposure to the aerobic xanthine oxidase reaction, and in the reduction of ferricytochromec under the same conditions.
