PODs form a large family of enzymes that contain heme groups and use various hydroperoxides as electron acceptors. They catalyze the redox-mediated oxidation reaction of various organic and inorganic compounds (Jin, Li, Long, & Zhang, 2018). The molecular weights of PODs generally range from 30 to 150 kDa, considering the sources from which they are obtained. Plant PODs are divided into three large groups according to the differences in their primary structure. Class I includes intracellular plants, bacteria, and yeast PODs, while Class II includes the heme group-containing PODs with the capability of oxidizing high reduction potential substrates and manganese. Class III plant PODs typically refer to plant enzymes that are excreted outside the cells or transported into vacuoles (Hiraga, Sasaki, Ito,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
