“…Peroxidase from horseradish (EC 1.11.1.7; donor, hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase) is a heme peroxidase that is able to catalyze the oxidation of a wide range of compounds, including phenols and amines (Dunford & Adeniran, 1986;Job & Dunford, 1976), phenylboronic acids (Sun et al, 1994), phenothiazines (Kelder et al, 1994), indoleacetic acids (Kobayashi et al, 1984;Ricard & Job, 1974), etc. In general, the catalytic cycle is described by the usual paradigm for heme peroxidases, in which the native (ferric) enzyme (HRP) 1 receives two oxidizing equivalents from hydrogen peroxide to form compound I (HRP-I), which in turn oxidizes the substrates by a sequence of two electron-transfer steps.…”
