2,4,6-Trifluorophenol is a trihalogenated phenol, which is a substrate for the enzyme, dehaloperoxidase (DHP). It is known that DHP is a dual-function protein that displays elements of both hemoglobins and peroxidases. Studies indicate that DHP has a role in oxygen transport, oxidizing halogenated phenols in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. These studies reveal that 2,4,6-Trifluorophenol alters the stereochemistry of the enzyme binding site. Furthermore, 2,4,6-Trifluorophenol can be used to determine the mechanism of DHP and the role of all the intermediates formed during turnover. Another application of this product is that 2,4,6-Trifluorophenol may be used in an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the biological monitoring of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. Additionally, association of phenol and 2,4,6-trifluorophenol has been investigated by 1H- and 19F-NMR spectroscopy.
