Peroxidases (s. A majority of peroxidase protein sequences can be found in the PeroxiBase database. Peroxidases typically catalyze a reaction of the form: :ROOR' + electron donor (2 e-) + 2H+ → ROH + R'OH For many of these enzymes the optimal substrate is Hydrogen Peroxide , but others are more active with organic hydroperoxides such as lipid peroxides. Peroxidases can contain a Heme Cofactor in their active sites, or Redox-active Cysteine or Selenocysteine residues. The nature of the Electron Donor is very dependent on the structure of the enzyme.
