Bacterial peroxidases are responsible for the reduction of hydrogen peroxide to water.
Found in the periplasm of gram-negative bacteria, they are one of the defense mechanisms …

Bacteria display an array of enzymes to detoxify reactive oxygen species that cause damage
to DNA and to other biomolecules leading to cell death. Hydrogen peroxide is one of these …

The copper-containing nitrite reductase from Neisseria gonorrhoeae has been shown to
play a critical role in the infection mechanism of this microorganism by producing NO and …

Neisseria gonorrhoeae is an obligate human pathogenic bacterium responsible for
gonorrhea, a sexually transmitted disease. The bacterial peroxidase, an enzyme present in …

The non-classical bacterial peroxidase from Escherichia coli, YhjA, is proposed to deal with
peroxidative stress in the periplasm when the bacterium is exposed to anoxic environments …

Lipid-modified cupredoxin azurin (Laz) is involved in electron transport in Neisseria and
proposed to act as an electron donor to the surface-displayed nitrite reductase AniA. We …
