DE   unspecific peroxygenase.
AN   haloperoxidase-peroxygenase.
CA   RH + H2O2 = ROH + H2O.
CC   -!- Enzymes of this type include glycoproteins secreted by agaric
CC       basidiomycetes.
CC   -!- They catalyze the insertion of an oxygen atom from H2O2 into a wide
CC       variety of substrates, including aromatic rings such as naphthalene,
CC       toluene, phenanthrene, pyrene and p-nitrophenol, recalcitrant
CC       heterocycles such as pyridine, dibenzofuran, various ethers
CC       (resulting in O-dealkylation) and alkanes such as propane, hexane and
CC       cyclohexane.
CC   -!- Reactions catalyzed include hydroxylation, epoxidation, N-oxidation,
CC       sulfooxidation, O- and N-dealkylation, bromination and one-electron
CC       oxidations.
CC   -!- They have little or no activity toward chloride.
CC   -!- Mechanistically, the catalytic cycle of unspecific (mono)-
CC       peroxygenases combines elements of the 'shunt' pathway of cytochrome
CC       P450s (a side activity that utilizes a peroxide in place of dioxygen
CC       and NAD[P]H) and the classic heme peroxidase cycle.
