Chemiluminescence of hemoglobin induced by hydrogen peroxide

: A new chemiluminescent hemoglobin (H2O2 + KOH) system is suggested. It is characterized by a comparatively high luminescence intensity. The chemiluminescence is shown to depend on the availability of hemoglobin and H2O2 in a cell. The influence of alkali on the luminescence intensity is established. Since the peroxidizing effect of hemoglobin and its derivatives is based on the reaction of these compounds with hydrogen peroxide, the suggestion was made to study this complex process, from kinetics of chemiluminescence that arises during the interaction.
