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
Chemical clock can be added to some chemical clocks to build a chemical oscillator. For example, the Briggs-Rauscher reaction is derived from an iodine clock reaction by adding perchloric acid, malonic acid and manganese sulfate.. Chemical clock A chemical clock (or clock reaction) is a complex mixture of reacting chemical compounds in which the onset of an observable property occurs after a predictable induction time. In cases where one of the reagents has a visible color, crossing a concentration threshold can lead to an abrupt color change after a reproducible time lapse. One class of example is the iodine clock reactions, in
