Background
These enzymes catalyze the oxidation of various substrates using hydrogen peroxide as an electron acceptor. They are involved in numerous biological processes, including the defense against pathogens and the synthesis of structural components.
Pathways
These metals act as essential cofactors for numerous enzymes in pathways ranging from oxygen transport (Iron/Heme) to redox catalysis (Copper/Superoxide Dismutase). They serve as upstream regulators of enzyme activity and cellular metal-trapping proteins.
