OhrOhr
Ohr (Organic Hydroperoxide Resistance Protein)1zb8 is a Cys based peroxidase [1],[2] that display higher preference for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) than for organic hydroperoxides. Accordingly, bacteria with the gene for Ohr deleted displayed increased sensitivity for organic hydroperoxides but not for hydrogen peroxide [3].
Ohr is a tight homo-dimer a 
FunctionOhr is a Cys based peroxidase that means the active site Cys is very reactive towards organic hydroperoxides. This high reactivity is achieved in the active site by interactions with fully conserved Arg and Glu residues among others Your Heading Here (maybe something like 'Structure')Anything in this section will appear adjacent to the 3D structure and will be scrollable.

Arg19 and Glu 50 of one chain (lets say chain A) compose the triad with Cys61 of the other chain (in this case chain B).
