New insights on unspecific peroxygenases: superfamily reclassification and evolution

Abstract Background Unspecific peroxygenases (UPO) (EC 1.11.2.1) represent an intriguing oxidoreductase sub-subclass of heme proteins with peroxygenase and peroxidase activity. With over 300 identified substrates, UPOs catalyze numerous oxidations including 1- or 2- electron oxygenation, selective o...
