Characterization of a Bromoperoxidase From the Marine Algae Penicillus Capitatus
The soluble emzyme bromperoxidase isolated from the marine green algae P. capitatus is capable of catalyzing halide oxiations while in the presence of peroxide. Protein purification and characterization of this enzyme showed that the prosthetic group is ferric protoporphyrin IX and that the enzyme consists of two equal molecular weight subunits whose combined weight is approximately 100,000. Bromoperoxidase contains no detectable level of carbohydrate.
