Open AccessSynthesis of cyclophosphamide metabolites by a peroxygenase from Marasmius rotula for toxicological studies on human cancer cells
Cyclophosphamide (CPA) represents a widely used anti-cancer prodrug that is converted by liver cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes into the primary metabolite 4-hydroxycyclophosphamide (4-OH-CPA), followed by non-en...

Fungal Peroxygenases: A Phylogenetically Old Superfamily of Heme Enzymes with Promiscuity for Oxygen Transfer Reactions
Fungal unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs, EC 1.11.2.1) form a superfamily of heme proteins and possess promiscuity for oxygen transfer reactions. The first UPO was discovered in the agaric fungus Agrocybe aegerita i...

Can peroxygenase and microperoxidase substitute cytochrome P450 in biosensors
Aromatic peroxygenase (APO) from the basidiomycetous mushroom Agrocybe aegerita (AaeAPO) and microperoxidases (MPs) obtained from cytochrome c exhibit a broad substrate spectrum including hydroxylation of selecte...

Molecular characterization of aromatic peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita
Recently, a novel group of fungal peroxidases, known as the aromatic peroxygenases (APO), has been discovered. Members of these extracellular biocatalysts produced by agaric basidiomycetes such as Agrocybe aegeri...

Hydroxylation of naphthalene by aromatic peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita proceeds via oxygen transfer from H2O2 and intermediary epoxidation
Agrocybe aegerita peroxidase/peroxygenase (AaP) is an extracellular fungal biocatalyst that selectively hydroxylates the aromatic ring of naphthalene. Under alkaline conditions, the reaction proceeds via the form...

The non-communicating rudimentary horn: diagnostic and therapeutic challenges
We describe the case of a 23-year-old nulligravid woman who complained of increasing post-menstrual lower abdominal pain. She used contraceptives permanently for three months and was referred with a sub-mucosa...

Spectrophotometric assay for detection of aromatic hydroxylation catalyzed by fungal haloperoxidase–peroxygenase
Agrocybe aegerita peroxidase (AaP) is a versatile heme-thiolate protein that can act as a peroxygenase and catalyzes, among other reactions, the hydroxylation of aromatic rings. This paper reports a rapid and sel...
