Organic and inorganic chlorine compounds are formed by a broad range of natural
geochemical, photochemical and biological processes. In addition, chlorine compounds are …

Production of molecular oxygen was a turning point in the Earth's history. The geological
record indicates the Great Oxidation Event, which marked a permanent transition to an …

Four heme peroxidase superfamilies (peroxidase–catalase, peroxidase–cyclooxygenase,
peroxidase–chlorite dismutase and peroxidase–peroxygenase superfamily) arose …

The first enzyme with dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) activity was described in 1999 from
an arthroconidial culture of the fungus Bjerkandera adusta. However, the first DyP sequence …

Around 50% of humankind relies on groundwater as a source of drinking water. Here we
investigate the age, geochemistry, and microbiology of 138 groundwater samples from 95 …

Dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP) of Auricularia auricula-judae has been expressed in
Escherichia coli as a representative of a new DyP family, and subjected to mutagenic …

As a specific example of the enhancement of enzymatic activity that can be induced by
nanoparticles, we investigate the hydrolysis of the organophosphate paraoxon by …

Chlorite dismutase (Cld) is a crucial enzyme that catalyzes the decomposition of chlorite
ions into chloride ions (Cl–) and molecular oxygen (O2). Despite playing an important role in …

There is a high functional diversity within the structural superfamily of porphyrin-binding
dimeric α+ β barrel proteins. In this review we aim to analyze structural constraints of chlorite …

Nearly all molecular oxygen (O2) on Earth is produced via oxygenic photosynthesis by
plants or photosynthetically active microorganisms. Light-independent O2 production, which …
