Ov. Lebedeva et Nn. Ugarova, MECHANISM OF PEROXIDASE-CATALYZED OXIDATION - SUBSTRATE-SUBSTRATE ACTIVATION IN HORSERADISH PEROXIDASE-CATALYZED REACTIONS, Russian chemical bulletin, 45(1), 1996, pp. 18-25
The structure and functions of peroxidases are characterized. Attentio
n is focused on the mechanisms of action of horseradish peroxidase in
reactions with different substrates and on correlations between struct
ure and functions of various heme-containing proteins. The phenomenon
of substrate-substrate activation typical of peroxidase-catalyzed reac
tions is discussed.
