The Trypanosoma cruzi vitamin C dependent peroxidase confers protection against oxidative stress but is not a determinant of virulence. [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: The neglected parasitic infection Chagas disease is rapidly becoming a globalised public health issue due to migration. There are only two anti-parasitic drugs available to treat this disease, benznidazole and nifurtimox. Thus it is important

Engineering Ascorbate Peroxidase Activity into Cytochrome c Peroxidase [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2008 Cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) have very similar structures, and yet neither CCP nor APX exhibits each other's activities with respect to reducing substrates. APX has a unique substrate binding site near the heme propionates where ascorbate H-bonds with a surface Arg and one heme propionate (Sharp et al. (2003) Nat. Struct.

Biologia Plantarum, 2012 An ascorbate-deficient semi-dwarf mutant asfL-1 was detected in 250 Gy γ-ray treated grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) cv. BioR-231. The mutant contained only 42 % of leaf and 20 % of root ascorbate content of mother control (MC).

Inactivation Mechanism of Ascorbate Peroxidase at Low Concentrations of Ascorbate; Hydrogen Peroxide Decomposes Compound I of Ascorbate Peroxidase [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 1996 One of the characteristic properties of ascorbate peroxidase (APX), which distinguishes it from guaiacol peroxidase, Cyt c peroxidase and glutathione peroxidase, is the rapid inactivation of the enzyme under conditions where an electron donor is absent. When thylakoid-bound APX (tAPX) in 100 f/M ascorbate was diluted 500-fold with an ascorbate-depleted

Ascorbate Peroxidase from Soybean Root Nodules [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1993 AP is involved in the destruction of harmful H202. In soybean (Glycine max [L] Merr.) root nodules, AP initiates a sequence of coupled redox reactions (ascorbate-GSH pathway) that results in peroxide scavenging (Dalton et al., 1986). The ascorbate-GSH pathway occurs in other plant tissues and has been extensively studied in chloroplasts where ...
