Metalloenzymes catalyze a variety of reactions using a limited number of natural amino
acids and metallocofactors. Therefore, the environment beyond the primary coordination …

In this work, 26 proteins of different structure, function and properties are investigated by
Raman spectroscopy with 488, 532 and 1064 nm laser lines. The excitation lines were …

While nanoscale mimics of peroxidase have been extensively developed over the past
decade or so, their catalytic efficiency as a key parameter has not been substantially …

Over the past decade, the catalytic activity of nanozymes has been greatly enhanced, but
their selectivity is still low and considered a critical issue to overcome. Herein, Fe–N4 single …

Given prominent physicochemical similarities between H2O2 and water, we report a new
strategy for promoting the peroxygenase activity of P450 enzymes by engineering their …

Horseradish peroxidase is an important heme-containing enzyme that has been studied for
more than a century. In recent years new information has become available on the three …

Life on earth is almost entirely solar-powered. We can get some idea of the enormous
quantity of energy received from the sun by noting that during daylight hours, the sun …

In 1951, a new compound containing iron and two cyclopentadienide ligands was reported.
1, 2 Although even the first reports noted its high and unexpected stability, the correct …

Class III plant peroxidase (POX), a plant-specific oxidoreductase, is one of the many types of
peroxidases that are widely distributed in animals, plants and microorganisms. POXs exist …

A molecular description of oxygen and peroxide activation in biological systems is difficult,
because electrons liberated during X-ray data collection reduce the active centres of redox …
