Fig. 8. Schematic reaction mechanism of myrosinase in the absence (a) and presence (b and c) of ascorbic acid. E, enzyme; S, substrate; GE, glucosyl enzyme; A, ascorbate; k[1], k[2], etc., dissociation constants not involving ascorbate; k[3'], rate constant in presence of ascorbate; k[A1], k[A 1], etc., dissociation constants of ascorbate. The less important back reactions are not shown.
