In silico analysis of peroxidase from <i>Luffa acutangula</i>.

ABSTRACT: Peroxidases are oxidoreductase enzymes that widely gained attention as biocatalysts for their robust catalytic activity, specificity, and regioselective functionality for phenolic compounds. The study of molecular aspects of peroxidases is as crucial as that of the physicochemical aspects. A bioinformatics approach is utilized in this study to investigate the structural aspects and functions of luffa peroxidase (LPrx) from Luffa acutangula. The evolutionary relationship of LPrx with other class III peroxidases was studied by constructing a neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree. An analysis of the phylogenetic tree revealed that plant peroxidases share a common ancestor. The gene ontology term showed that LPrx had a molecular functionality of the oxidation-reduction process, heme bindi
