Abstract

Heme-undecapeptide, microperoxidase-11, prepared from cytochrome c by pepsin digestion, retains the proximal 5th His-18 ligand. Microperoxidase is thought to be a unique peroxidase which does not have a substrate binding site. Compared with heroin-Cl, mieroperoxidase-11 was an effective catalyst for sulfide oxidation, amine N-demethylation, and olefin oxidation in the presence of H2O2.
