The measurement of the 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPOL) consumption by using ESR allows to follow the anaerobic reaction between linoleic acid (LH) and its 13-hydroperoxide (LOOH) catalysed by lipoxygenase. During this reaction, two types of radicals are initially obtained, alkyl (L ) and alkoxyl (LO ) radicals which formed two types of adducts (LT and OLT) with TEMPOL as characterised by HPLC. The stoichiometry of the adduct formation is two mole of TEMPOL consumed for one mole of LH and one mole of LOOH. Using ESR, the kinetic parameters and the mechanism of the anaerobic reaction have been determined at pH 6.5 for three different lipoxygenases, soybean, horse bean and wheat and compared to the values obtained at pH 9 for soybean lipoxygenase. Wheat lipoxygenase is very weakly active compared to the other enzymes. An uncompetitive inhibition of the anaerobic reaction catalysed by soybean and horse bean lipoxygenases was observed with 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT).
