Dyp-type (dye-decolorizing) peroxidases are a family of heme proteins found in a wide range of bacteria and fungi [1,2]. They have a wide substrate specificity and lack homology to most other peroxidases, with the ability to function well under much lower pH conditions compared with the other plant peroxidases [2,3,4]. They consist of two domains that adopt a ferredoxin-like fold [2,4], connected by a loop. This entry represents the C-terminal domain, which possess a large hydrophobic cavity for heme binding [2,3,4].
