Hi

I will use a number of sources for information about peroxidase enzymes - these will be cited with weblink when possible so you can look at the references yourself for further information.

From Wikipedia:

A peroxidase (eg. EC 1.11.1.9) is an enzyme, which may contain heme, that catalyzes a reaction of the form:
ROOR' + electron donor (2 e-) + 2H+ → ROH + R'OH
For many of these enzymes the optimal substrate is hydrogen ...
