Yeast cytochrome c peroxidase is carbohydrate-free the other three peroxidases are glycoproteins. Molecular weights are 35,200 for cytochrome c peroxidase, 40,000 for horseradish peroxidase, 41,000 for lignin peroxidase ", and 72,000 for prostaglandin H synthase. Die crystal structure of cytochrome c peroxidase has been determined ". ... 

Manganese peroxidase (MnP) is an unique enzyme in many respects. It is an extracellular enzyme that involves a heme protoporphyrin IX for the oxidation of Mn" to Mn " 94, 95). A crystal structure at 2.06-A resolution of the manganese peroxidase from the white rot basidiomycete Phanerocaete chrysosporium, which utilizes this enzyme to degrade lignin, appeared in 1994 96). The active site (Fig. 5) and the overall structure are quite similar to lignin peroxidase (LiP),...
