MANGANESE PEROXIDASE FROM WHITE-ROT FUN

General description

Manganese peroxidase from white-rot fungus (Phanerochaete chrysosporium) is a lignin-modifying peroxidase that catalyzes the oxidation of Mn²⁺ to Mn³⁺. Mn³⁺ is stabilized by chelators like oxalic acid. Manganese peroxidase uses peroxide as an oxidant and manganese coordination compounds as charge-transfer mediators.Manganese peroxidase has a molecular weight of 40-50 kDa and is a glycosylated heme protein.
