Peroxidase as an Oxygenase**Abbreviations and conventionsPeroxidase: The word “peroxidase” refers only to plant peroxidases, and usually that from horse-radish; animal and yeast peroxidases are referred to by specific names (lactoperoxidase, verdoperoxidase, cytochrome c peroxidase, etc.)Hemoprotein nomenclature: “Hemoglobin” refers to the ferrous derivative, and “methemoglobin” to the ferric form; similarly with myoglobin; “peroxidase” is, however, the ferric form, with “ferroperoxidase” used …
