ALB and infection: Taking into accountthe presented results, the bimolecular rate constant for the reactionof HOCl with uric acid (3 × 105 M–1 s–1, pH 7),43−45 and the fact that HSA is themain scavenger of HOCl at sites of infection and inflammation,23−26 under physiological conditions, there seems to be very little chanceto release the active form of inhibitor via the reaction of HOCl withAMBB.
