Plant seed peroxygenase explained

Plant seed peroxygenase
Ec Number:	1.11.2.3

Plant seed peroxygenase (plant peroxygenase, soybean peroxygenase) is an enzyme with systematic name substrate:hydroperoxide oxidoreductase (RH-hydroxylating or epoxidising).^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

R₁H + R₂OOH

\rightleftharpoons R₁OH + R₂OH

This enzyme is a heme protein that contains calcium binding motif.
