Versatile peroxidase

Versatile peroxidase (, VP, hybrid peroxidase, polyvalent peroxidase) is an enzyme with systematic name reactive-black-5:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (1) Reactive Black 5 + H2O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ oxidized Reactive Black 5 + 2 H2O
 * (2) donor + H2O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ oxidized donor + 2 H2O

Versatile peroxidase is a hemoprotein.
