The enzyme catalase is known to catalyse the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen
and water. Hydrogen peroxide metabolism is mainly regulated by this enzyme. Catalase is a …

Protein design is a valuable tool for understanding the fundamental factors that dictate
protein structure and function. The field of protein design has seen significant progress over …

One of the hallmark advances in our understanding of metalloprotein function is showcased
in our ability to design new, non-native, catalytically active protein scaffolds. This review …

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is continuously formed by the autoxidation of redox enzymes in
aerobic cells, and it also enters from the environment, where it can be generated both by …

Lactobacillaceae are a diverse family of lactic acid bacteria found in the gut microbiota of
humans and many animals. These bacteria exhibit beneficial effects on intestinal health …

Excessive hydrogen peroxide is harmful for almost all cell components, so its rapid and
efficient removal is of essential importance for aerobically living organisms. Conversely …

Biological Inorganic Chemistry: A New Introduction to Molecular Structure and Function,
Second Edition, provides a comprehensive discussion of the biochemical aspects of metals …

BACKGROUND: The Ferritins are part of the extensive 'Ferritin-like superfamily'which have
diverse functions but are linked by the presence of a common four-helical bundle domain …

Given the well-defined enzymology of the manganese catalases and recent advances in the
structural biology of these proteins, this is an excellent area for corroborative modeling of the …

Very little manganese is imported into Escherichia coli under routine growth conditions: the
import system is weakly expressed, the manganese content is low, and a manganese …
