Popis: Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) are heme-containing enzymes that are structurally unrelated to other peroxidases. Some DyPs show high potential for applications in biotechnology, which critically depends on the stability and redox potential (E°') of the enzyme. Here we provide a comparative analysis of UV–Vis- and surface-enhanced resonance Raman-based spectroelectrochemical methods for determination of the E°' of DyPs from two different organisms, and their variants generated targeting E°' upshift. We show that substituting the highly conserved Arginine in the distal side of the heme pocket by hydrophobic amino acid residues impacts the heme architecture and redox potential of DyPs from the two organisms in a very distinct manner. We demonstrate the advantages and drawbacks of the used spectroelectrochemical approaches, which is relevant for other heme proteins that contain multiple heme centers or spin populations.
