Abstract excerpt
Prostaglandin-endoperoxide H synthases (PGHSs) have a cyclooxygenase that forms prostaglandin (PG) G2 from arachidonic acid (AA) plus oxygen and a peroxidase that reduces the PGG2 to PGH2. The peroxidase activates the cyclooxygenase. This involves an initial oxidation of the peroxidase heme group by hydroperoxide, followed by oxidation of Tyr385 to a tyrosyl radical within the cyclooxygenase site. His386 of...
