Dye-decolorizing peroxidase Tfu_3078

UniProtKB accession:  Q47KB1

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Peroxidase that is able to convert a large number of compounds, but its physiological substrate is not known. Shows high reactivity towards anthraquinone dyes (e.g. Reactive Blue 19) and a modest activity towards standard peroxidase substrates (such as guaiacol and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol) and azo dyes (e.g. Reactive Blue 5). Is also able to oxidize aromatic sulfides enantioselectively, resulting in the corresponding (R)-sulfoxides, but with a poor efficiency. Does not display catalase activity.
