New design of a chimeric enzyme based on vanadium-dependent bromoperoxidase and glucose oxidase to highlight the microbicidal properties of the reaction products: HOBr and HOCl
{{output}}
Vanadium-dependent haloperoxidases are enzymes found in bacteria, fungi and red or brown macroalgae. They are used as a defense system for the latter by producing bromoform. The intermediate product, HOBr or HOCl, is also a microbicidal compound that can be ex... ...
