Abstract

A ligninolytic peroxidase called versatile peroxidase, VP, (EC 1.11.1.16) is an iron-containing metalloenzyme. The most distinctive feature of this enzyme is its composite molecular framework, which combines lignin peroxidase’s capacity to oxidize compounds with high-redox potential with manganese peroxidase’s capacity to oxidize Mn2+ to Mn3+. In this study, we have extracted amino acid sequences from the Citrus sinensis source and subjected them to various computation tools to visualize the insight secondary and 3D structure, physicochemical properties, and validation of the structure which have not been studied so far to further investigate the catalytic efficiency and effectiveness of VP. The binding energies of HEME and HEME C (HEC) ligands with produced PDB (6rqf.1. A) have been also assessed, analyzed, and confirmed utilizing AutoDock. Binding energies were calculated using the AutoDock and validated by MD simulation using SCHRODINGER DESMOND. Most stable confirmation was achieved through a protein–ligand interaction study. Bio-technological use of VP in the biotransformation of β-naphthol has also been studied. The findings in the current study will have a substantial impact on proteomics, biochemistry, biotechnology, and possible uses of versatile peroxidase in the bio-remediation of different toxic organic compounds.
