Summary The principle amatoxin, α-amanitin, is found to be extremely sensitive toward lactoperoxidase catalyzed degradation, rather than iodination, of the indole nucleus. Extensive attenuation of inhibitor potency against eukaryotic DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II accompanies the treatment of α-amanitin with lactoperoxidase, iodide and hydrogen peroxide.
