  Abstract  
  Based on the quenching effect of dihydroxybenzenes (hydroquinone HQ, catechol CT and resorcinol RS) on luminol–lysozyme chemiluminescence (CL) system, the binding parameters of lysozyme with dihydroxybenzenes were first determined by flow injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) analysis. It was found that the CL intensity decrements were logarithm over the concentrations of dihydroxybenzenes, giving a general equation of ΔI = ALnC + B (R > 0.99). At a flow rate of 2.0 mL min–1, a complete analysis, including sampling and washing, could be performed in 25 s with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of less than 3.0% (n = 5). By homemade FI-CL model of protein–small molecule interaction, lg[(I0 – I)/I] = lgKD + nlg[D], the binding constants KD (at 105–107 level) and the number of interacting sites n (approximately 1) were obtained; the affinity of dihydroxybenzenes to lysozyme followed the order: HQ > CT > RS; and the reaction should be spontaneous with hydrophobic effect.
