Abstract
Plant peroxidase exhibit broad substrate specificity and is active in a wide range of pH and temperature, and in the presence of organic compounds as well as other additives. The peroxidase is known to be involved in many physiological and regulatory processes in plants. This ppt presents an introduction on plant peroxidase and their applications. A purification protocol has been developed and the purified protein, named as CCPP is biochemically and physiologically characterized. The physiochemical properties such as molecular weight, isoelectric point have been experimentally determined. The enzymatic efficiency has been evaluated through temperature optimum, pH optimum, Km and other enzymatic properties along with spectroscopic parameters like circular dichorism and fluorescence have been mentioned. The enzyme is stable under adverse conditions like pH, strong denaturants, temperature, and organic solvents which facilitate exploring the possibilities of utilization in industrial and biotechnological applications.
