Structure
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Catalase Peroxidase (mtCP) is a homodimer with each monomer consisting of two domains.
Monomer Structure
The two domains of each monomer are primarily alpha helical and have similar foldings. The similar foldings suggests that the monomer results from a gene duplication event; however, the C-terminal domain does not contain the heme b prosthetic group, while the N-terminal does. The active site is therefore located within the N-terminal domain. The two monomers interact through an interlocking hook formed by the N-terminal domains that stabilizes the formation of the dimer.
