KATG as a Defense Against Hydrogen Peroxide Toxicity: From a Redundant C-Terminal Domain to the Paradoxical Synergy of Two Mutually Antagonistic Activities 

Duan, Haijun (2014-12-09)
Catalase-peroxidases (KatGs), first discovered in 1979, are heme-dependent enzymes mainly found in bacteria, archaea and fungi. They are capable of decomposing H2O2 by catalatic and peroxidatic pathways. KatG has garnered ...

Roles of Two Interhelical Insertions in Catalase-peroxidase Catalysis: Tracing the Impact of Peripheral Protein Structures on Heme Enzyme Function 

Li, Yongjiang (2005-08-15)
Monofunctional peroxidases and bifunctional catalase-peroxidases share almost superimposable active sites, yet peroxidases lack appreciable catalase activity. Moreover, catalase-peroxidases catalyze both catalase and ...

The Skeletal Muscle Pump During Contractile Transitions 

Ferguson, Brian (2014-07-24)
The aim of this study was to characterize the contribution of skeletal muscle contraction to the immediate hyperemic blood flow response as well as the continued involvement in matching tissue perfusion to elevated metabolic ...
