- 2 RH + 2 Cl- + H2O2 2 RCl + 2 H2O
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are RH, Cl−, and H2O2, whereas its two products are RCl and H2O.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a peroxide as acceptor (peroxidases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is chloride:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called chloroperoxidase. It employs one cofactor which may be either heme or vanadia.
Chloroperoxidases are heme or vanadium-containing enzymes that exhibits peroxidase, catalase and cytochrome P450-like activities in addition to catalyzing halogenation reactions[1]. Despite functional similarities with other heme enzymes, CPO folds into a novel tertiary structure dominated by eight helical segments. The catalytic base, required to cleave the peroxide O-O bond, is glutamic acid rather than histidine as in other peroxidases.
