EC 1.11.1.11 Details

show Brenda entry

EC number

1.11.1.11

Accepted name

L-ascorbate peroxidase

Reaction

2 L-ascorbate + H₂O₂ + 2 H⁺ = L-ascorbate + L-dehydroascorbate + 2 H₂O (overall reaction);;(1a) 2 L-ascorbate + H₂O₂ + 2 H⁺ = 2 monodehydroascorbate + 2 H₂O;;(1b) 2 monodehydroascorbate = L-ascorbate + L-dehydroascorbate (spontaneous)

Other name(s)

L-ascorbic acid peroxidase, L-ascorbic acid-specific peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, ascorbic acid peroxidase

Systematic name

L-ascorbate:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

72906-87-7

Comment

A heme protein. Oxidizes ascorbate and low molecular weight aromatic substrates. The monodehydroascorbate radical produced is either directly reduced back to ascorbate by EC 1.6.5.4 [monodehydroascorbate reductase (NADH)] or undergoes non-enzymic disproportionation to ascorbate and dehydroascorbate.

History

created 1983, modified 2010, modified 2011
