Ascorbate

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Methylene blue and ascorbate (Asc), used commonly as the reducing system for IDO activity determination, significantly affected the enzymatic activity of IDO2: In combination, the two reductants increased the apparent Km‐ and kcat‐values 8‐ to 117‐fold and 2‐fold, respectively.
