Abstract
Heme proteins serve many varied rules biologically even though all contain the same prosthetic group (heme, iron protoporphyrin DC, Figure 1). Those hemeproteins which are activated by hydrogen peroxide (catalase, peroxidase, ligninase) and those which activate oxygen, via a “peroxide” bound intermediate (cytochrome P-450), all function through the same, or similar intermediates.
