Abstract excerpt
Pseudoperoxidase from Leishmania major (LmPP) catalyzes the breakdown of peroxynitrite though it can hardly react with H(2)O(2). Our modeling structure predicts that a conserved His to Val switch near the distal heme pocket of LmPP may determine the profile of its H(2)O(2) activity. To test this hypothesis, we have generated complementary mutations in the LmPP (V90H) and studied the formation of Compounds I and...
