Peroxidases
Oxidation of a variety of compounds by H2O2
AH2 + H2O2 → A + 2H2O
From plants: horseradish root and fig sap.
FeIIIheme is LS at high pH, HS at low pH.
Two-electron oxidation: HRP(FeIII)+ H2O2 →HRP-I + H2O
Green complex (complex I)
FeIV=O•Por• (HS)
One electron reduction: HRP-I + AH2 →HRP-II + AH•

Catalase and CPO
Two-e- oxidation: Cat(FeIII)+ H2O2 →Cat(FeIV=OPor•) + H2O
Cat-I (FeIV=OPor•)+ H2O2 → FeIIIPor + H2O + O2
CytcP-I (FeIV=OPor•) +2Cytc(FeII) + 2 H+ → FeIIIPor + H2O
+2Cytc(FeIII)
HRP: Cytc(FeII) is replaced by alkylamines, sulfides.
CPO-I (FeIV=OPor•) +Cl- → FeIIIPor + OClhypochlorite (hypochlorous acid)
AH + OCl- →ACl + OHA.-F. Miller, 2008, pg

T252 and D251. T is
conserved, mutation to
anything other than Ser (or
methoxy) uncouples
activity.
D is a carbonyl switch.
N255 sc stabilizes displaced
carbonyl of D251 that
makes room for O2 and
moves amide NH of T252
