Biotransformations with Peroxidases
1999Enzymes are chiral catalysts and are able to produce optically active molecules from prochiral or racemic substrates by catalytic asymmetric induction. One of the major challenges in organic synthesis is the development of environmentally acceptable chemical processes for the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds, which are of increasing ...

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1993
The availability of recombinant cytochrome c peroxidase from yeast has already proved to be of considerable importance in developing the protein engineering of peroxidases and of metalloproteins in general. With the recent increase in information on peroxidase sequences, further developments in recombinant expression systems and the determination of an

PeroxiBase: The peroxidase database
Phytochemistry, 2007Peroxidases (EC 1.11.1.x), which are encoded by small or large multigenic families, are involved in several important physiological and developmental processes. Analyzing their evolution and their distribution among various phyla could certainly help to elucidate the mystery of their extremely widespread and diversified presence in almost all living ...

The white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium secretes extracellular oxidative enzymes during secondary metabolism, but lacks versatile peroxidase, an enzyme important in ligninolysis and diverse biotechnology processes. In this study, we report the genetic modification of a P.

Oscillations in the peroxidase-oxidase reaction: a comparison of different peroxidases
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1996The nonlinear behavior of the peroxidase-oxidase reaction was studied using structurally different peroxidases. For the first time sustained oscillations with peroxidases other than horseradish peroxidase in a single-enzyme system were observed. All peroxidases that showed significant oxidase activity were able to generate sustained oscillations.

There are several proteins in mammalian cells that can metabolize hydrogen peroxide and lipid hydroperoxides. These proteins include four selenium-containing glutathione peroxidases that are found in different cell fractions and tissues of the body. This review considers the structure and distribution of the selenoperoxidases and how this relates to ...

Trp191Phe and Trp51Phe mutations have been introduced into an engineered cytochrome c peroxidase (CcP) containing a Mn(II)-binding site reported previously (MnCcP; see Yeung, B. K.-S., et al. (1997) Chem. Biol. 5, 215-221). The goal of the present study is to elucidate the role of tryptophans in peroxidase activity since CcP contains both Trp51 and ...

Lignin peroxidase-type activity of soybean peroxidase
Enzyme and Microbial Technology, 1995Soybean peroxidase (SBP), an acidic peroxidase isolated from the hulls of the bean, catalyzes the efficient oxidation of veratryl alcohol to veratraldehyde in the presence of H2O2. The reaction is optimal at pH 2.4 in the presence of 0.2 m CaCl2. Soybean peroxidase is highly thermostable at pH 2.4, with half-lives of 210 and 2.5 h at 30 and 50°C ...

It is well known that the partial reduction of oxygen can result in the formation of highly reactive oxygen products. Hydrogen peroxide is one of these metabolites of oxygen. Peroxidases utilize this metabolite for a variety of functions. It is the purpose of this treatise to review the nature and function of various membrane peroxidases in the body.

Horseradish peroxidase. XXXVI. On the difference between peroxidase and metmyoglobin
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1979Abstract A mechanism for the reaction of hydrogen peroxide with horseradish peroxidase is proposed which involves the catalytic activity of the carboxylate side chain of aspartate residue 43. The corresponding residue in the active site of metmyoglobin is glycine E8, which explains the inability of metmyoglobin to form compound I.
