Cytochrome c-peroxidase modulates ROS homeostasis to regulate the sexual mating of Sporisorium scitamineum [PDF]
Sugarcane smut, caused by the basidiomycetous fungus Sporisorium scitamineum, is a global fungal disease resulting in substantial economic losses. Our previous research has highlighted the significant role of reactive oxide species (ROS) in the sexual ...

Studies on Cytochrome c Peroxidase
The peroxidatic oxidation of ferrocytochrome c catalyzed by yeast cytochrome c peroxidase was studied kinetically in the following combinations of substrates: H2O2-horse heart cytochrome c, C2H5OOH-horse heart cytochome c, H2O2-bakers' yeast cytochrome c, and C2H5OOH-bakers' yeast cytochrome c.

Leishmania major peroxidase is a cytochrome c peroxidase. [PDF]
Leishmania major peroxidase (LmP) exhibits both ascorbate and cytochrome c peroxidase activities. Our previous results illustrated that LmP has a much higher activity against horse heart cytochrome c than ascorbate, suggesting that cytochrome c may be the biologically important substrate.

Studies on Cytochrome c Peroxidase [PDF]
Abstract Protoporphyrin monomethyl ester and protoheme monomethyl ester were recombined with apocytochrome c per-oxidase. The iron-free porphyrin-protein complex has absorption maxima at 408, 511, 547, 576, and 629 nm. The complex has no peroxidase activity. The protoheme monomethyl ester complex reacts with a stoichiometric amount of hydrogen peroxide

Two-dimensional infrared spectroscopic study of cytochrome c peroxidase activity in deep eutectic solvent [PDF]
Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) prepared by mixing hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor molecules have been found to be of use in several applications. Recently, it was shown that DESs can enhance the peroxidation activity of cytochrome c.

Studies on Cytochrome c Peroxidase
Abstract The reaction of ferrimyoglobin with H2O2 was investigated by a combination of spectrophotometric and electron paramagnetic resonance measurements and enzymic assay of of hydroperoxide by the cytochrome c peroxidase system. On the addition of an excess of H2O2 to ferrimyoglobin, approximately 1.5 moles of H2O2 were consumed per mole of the ...

Order-to-Disorder and Disorder-to-Order Transitions of Proteins upon Binding to Phospholipid Membranes: Common Ground and Dissimilarities [PDF]
Cytochrome c is one of the most prominent representatives of peripheral membrane proteins. Besides functioning as an electron transfer carrier in the mitochondrial respiratory chain, it can acquire peroxidase capability, promote the self-assembly of α ...

Kinetic and equilibrium studies of acrylonitrile binding to cytochrome c peroxidase and oxidation of acrylonitrile by cytochrome c peroxidase compound I. [PDF]
Ferric heme proteins bind weakly basic ligands and the binding affinity is often pH dependent due to protonation of the ligand as well as the protein. In an effort to find a small, neutral ligand without significant acid/base properties to probe ligand binding reactions in ferric heme proteins we were led to consider the organonitriles.
