OverviewOverview

Heme peroxidases catalyze the H2O2-dependent oxidation of a variety of, substrates, most of which are organic. Mechanistically, these enzymes are, well characterized: they share a common catalytic cycle that involves, formation of a two-electron, oxidized Compound I intermediate followed by, two single-electron reduction steps by substrate. The substrate, specificity is more diverse--most peroxidases oxidize small organic, substrates, but there are prominent exceptions--and there is a notable, absence of structural information for a representative, peroxidase-substrate complex. Thus, the features that control substrate, specificity remain undefined. We present the structure of the complex of, ascorbate peroxidase-ascorbate. The structure defines the, ascorbate-binding interaction for the ... [(full description)]
