Lignin-Modifying Enzymes in Scedosporium Species
Scedosporium species are usually soil saprophytes but some members of the genus such as S. apiospermum and S. aurantiacum have been regularly reported as causing human respiratory infections, particularly in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). Because of

Halogenation Activity of Mammalian Heme Peroxidases [PDF]
Mammalian heme peroxidases are fascinating due to their unique peculiarity of oxidizing (pseudo)halides under physiologically relevant conditions. These proteins are able either to incorporate oxidized halides into substrates adjacent to the active site ...

Antioxidative enzymes in root and leaf of Rumex obtusifolius L. grown on ash amended soil [PDF]
Antioxidant enzymes are one of the most important links in the plant defense system to various types of environmental stress, so their response to a particular type of stress may indicate the sensitivity or tolerance of the plant species.

Biossíntese de lignina em plantas submetidas ao déficit hídrico
Em seus ecossistemas, as plantas são submetidas a diversos potenciais inimigos, tanto os bióticos como os abióticos. No entanto, os vegetais por meio de mutações, seleção natural e mudanças evolutivas desenvolveram mecanismos de defesa não só estruturais

Prediction of some peroxidase functions in Arabidopsis thaliana L. by bioinformatic search
Peroxidases of class III are common in various organisms. They are involved in lignin biosynthesis and plant protection against stressors. Peroxidases are presented in many isoforms, whose role is not always clear. The aim of this study is to analyze the

The phylogeny of the mammalian heme peroxidases and the evolution of their diverse functions [PDF]
The mammalian heme peroxidases (MHPs) are a medically important group of enzymes. Included in this group are myeloperoxidase, eosinophil peroxidase, lactoperoxidase, and thyroid peroxidase.

Peroxidase Activity of Human Hemoproteins: Keeping the Fire under Control
The heme in the active center of peroxidases reacts with hydrogen peroxide to form highly reactive intermediates, which then oxidize simple substances called peroxidase substrates.

Alterations in Soluble Class III Peroxidases of Maize Shoots by Flooding Stress
Due to changing climate, flooding (waterlogged soils and submergence) becomes a major problem in agriculture and crop production. In the present study, the effect of waterlogging was investigated on peroxidases of maize (Zea mays L.) leaves.

Peroxidase profiling reveals genetic linkage between peroxidase gene clusters and basal host and non-host resistance to rusts and mildew in barley [PDF]
Background - Higher plants possess a large multigene family encoding secreted class III peroxidase (Prx) proteins. Peroxidases appear to be associated with plant disease resistance based on observations of induction during disease challenge and the ...

Ligninolytic enzyme production in Pleurotus eryngii depending on the medium composition and cultivation conditions [PDF]
Pleurotus eryngii produced laccase (Lac) both under conditions of submerged fermentation (SF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) using all of the investigated carbon and nitrogen sources, while significant peroxidases production occurred only under SSF ...
