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
Symbol (chemistry) (see Chemical elements in East Asian languages). However, Latin symbols are also used, especially in formulas. A list of current, dated, as well as proposed and historical signs and symbols is included here with its signification. Also given is each element's atomic number, atomic weight or the atomic mass of the most stable isotope, group and period numbers on the periodic table, and etymology of the symbol. Hazard pictographs are another type of symbols used in chemistry. Antimatter atoms are denoted by a bar above the symbol for their matter counterpart, so e.g. H is the symbol for antihydrogen. The
