摘要
The hitherto unknown threshold effect for the inhibition of the peroxidase-catalysed aerobic oxidation of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) by caffeic acid is described. It is shown that caffeic acid does not affect peroxidase and IAA. To explain the threshold effect it is supposed that for the given experimental conditions, the oxidation of IAA is an enzymatic, free radical, chain branched reaction and caffeic acid acts as a trap of free radicals participating in the chain reaction.
