The heme peroxidase family generates a battery of oxidants both for synthetic purposes, and
in the innate immune defence against pathogens. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is the most …

Environmental security is closely related to public health. Aromatic pollutants constitute a
class of hazardous environmental chemicals, such as halophenols and polycyclic aromatic …

Heme proteins are crucial for biological systems by performing diverse functions. Nature has
evolved diverse approaches to fine-tune the structure and function of heme proteins, of …

Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) represent the most recently classified hydrogen
peroxide–dependent heme peroxidase family. Although widely distributed with more than …

Splitting the reduction potential of electron transport (ET) proteins and redox
metalloenzymes into the enthalpic and entropic contributions is an insightful practice to …

Four heme peroxidase superfamilies arose independently in evolution. Only in the
peroxidase-cyclooxygenase superfamily the prosthetic group is posttranslationally modified …

With> 5000 annotated genes dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) represent a heme b
peroxidase family of broad functional diversity. Bacterial B-class DyPs are poor peroxidases …

A double mutant of human H64M/V71C neuroglobin (Ngb) was engineered, which formed a
single thioether bond as that in atypical cytochrome c, whereas the heme distal Met64 was …

Oxidation of halides and thiocyanate by heme peroxidases to antimicrobial oxidants is an
important cornerstone in the innate immune system of mammals. Interestingly, phylogenetic …

The structure and function of heme proteins are regulated by diverse post-translational
modifications including heme-protein cross-links, with the underlying mechanisms not well …
