Detailed studies using salen-type Mn(III) complexes show that photochemical processes involving H2O2, ABTS and the complex itself, can lead to erroneous results. The capability of the complexes to act as ˙OH scavengers can be also relevant when the mechanism of their biological activity is considered}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, keywords = {ABTS}, keywords = {Photochemistry}, keywords = {Kinetics}, title = {Pitfalls in the ABTS peroxidase activity test: Interference of photochemical processes}, doi = {10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b02525}, author = {Liberato González, Andrea and Fernández-Trujillo Rey, María Jesús and Máñez Muñoz, María Ángeles and Maneiro, Marcelino and Rodríguez-Silva, Laura and García Basallote, Manuel}, }
