l Biological Information

Biochem/Physiol Actions

Manganese peroxidase catalyzes the oxidation of Mn₂₊ to Mn_3+.Mn₃₊ is then in complex with oxalate, which is able to oxidize lignin. Manganese peroxidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium binds 2 calcium ions per subunit. It binds 1 heme B (iron-protoporphyrin IX) group per subunit.

Application

Manganese peroxidase from white-rot fungus (Phanerochaete chrysosporium) is from the peroxidase family and is used to oxidize manganese. It may be used to study wound healing.

Unit Definition

One unit corresponds to the amount of enzyme, which oxidizes 1 μmole Mn₂₊ per minute to Mn₃₊at pH 4.5 and 25 °C
