The stereochemistry of peroxidase catalysis
1980
Journal of Biological Chemistry
A stereochemical mechanism is proposed for the peroxidase-catalyzed heterolytic cleavage of the RO-OH bond. It is based on the 2.5 A structure of cytochrome c peroxidase, model building experiments, and an extensive body of literature on peroxidase biochemistry. The essential features of this mechanism are acid-base catalysis by an invariant distal histidine (His-52 in cytochrome c peroxidase), charge stabilization by an invariant arginine residue (Arg-48), and stabilization of higher oxidation
