ABSTRACT Peroxidase, an enzyme of interest to those interested in two step reactions and/or plant physiology, is also a complex molecule. Besides the heme as the center of reactions, it contains calcium and glycans. Yet beyond a detailed knowledge of the peptide and heme, little has been reported on the other prosthetic groups and how they interact with the peptide. With interests in the role of glycans growing, this report is mainly aimed to examine the role of the glycans further. Could they have some role in the well-known stability of peroxidase?
