Manganese peroxidase Manganese peroxidase In enzymology, a manganese peroxidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are Mn(II), H, and HO, whereas its two products are Mn(III) and HO. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, to be specific those acting on a peroxide as acceptor (peroxidases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is Mn(II):hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include peroxidase-M2, and Mn-dependent (NADH-oxidizing) peroxidase. It employs one cofactor, heme. This enzyme needs Ca for activity. White rot fungi secrete this enzyme to aid lignin degradation. Manganese peroxidase (commonly referred
Gallium manganese arsenide incorporated. At lower temperatures, around 250 °C, there is insufficient thermal energy for surface segregation to occur but still sufficient for a good quality single crystal alloy to form. In addition to the substitutional incorporation of manganese, low-temperature MBE also causes the inclusion of other impurities. The two other common impurities are interstitial manganese and arsenic antisites. The former is where the manganese atom sits between the other atoms in the zinc-blende lattice structure and the latter is where an arsenic atom occupies a gallium site. Both impurities act as double donors, removing the holes provided by the substitutional manganese,
