CHLOROPEROXIDASE
Overview
BACKGROUND: Chloroperoxidase (CPO) is a versatile heme-containing enzyme, that exhibits peroxidase, catalase and cytochrome P450-like activities in, addition to catalyzing halogenation reactions. The structure determination, of CPO was undertaken to help elucidate those structural features that, enable the enzyme to exhibit these multiple activities. RESULTS: Despite, functional similarities with other heme enzymes, CPO folds into a novel, tertiary structure dominated by eight helical segments. The catalytic, base, required to cleave the peroxide O-O bond, is glutamic acid rather, than histidine as in other peroxidases. CPO contains a hydrophobic patch, above the heme that could be the binding site for substrates that undergo, P450-like reactions. The crystal structure also shows ... [(full description)]
