This resulted in a hydrogen bond Edited by Miguel De la Rosa network connection between each and the heme distal side. This network consisted of molecules occupying the second cavity, heme 6-propionate, Arg329, and Asn313. This network is consistent with the transfer pathway from substrate to DyP.

tween 6-propionate and each substrate. Similarly, in the APX– ascorbic acid complex, the latter binds directly to 6-propionate by hydrogen bonds, and the propionate is essential for electron transfer [5]. These findings suggest that the DyP substrates transfer electrons to the heme propionate. Moreover, ascorbic acid and DMP1 were connected to the water molecule on the heme distal side of DyP (shown as ‘W1’ in Fig. 2D) through three hydrogen bond networks. Similarly, in the APX–ascorbic acid complex, the latter forms hydrogen bond networks with this water molecule, with this network thought to be the proton transfer pathway [7]. These findings suggest that the hydrogen bond networks between the substrates and the water molecule on the heme distal side of DyP act as proton transfer pathways. A proton donor of ascorbic acid is the C2 hydroxyl group. In DyP–ascorbic acid complex, the C2 hydroxyl group was connected to the heme distal side though the route 3 hydrogen bond network (Fig. 2D). Therefore, the route 3 is likely to be used as the proton transfer pathway in the reaction of DyP with ascorbic acid. A proton donor of DMP is also the hydro- xyl group. In DyP–DMP complex, however, the hydroxyl group was connected to the heme distal side though the route 1 and 2. There- fore, the route 1 or 2 is likely to be used as the proton transfer pathway in the reaction of DyP with DMP. We have also compared the structure of DyP with those of other DyP-type peroxidases.
