Some litter-decaying fungi secrete haem-thiolate peroxygenases that oxidize numerous organic compounds and therefore have a high potential for applications such as the detoxification of recalcitrant organic waste and chemical synthesis. Like P450 enzymes, they transfer oxygen functionalities to aromatic and aliphatic substrates. However, in contrast to this class of enzymes, they only require H(2)O(2) for activity. Furthermore, they exhibit halogenation activity, as in the well characterized fun ...[more]
