Heme enzymes are the most prominent category of iron-containing metalloenzymes with the capability of catalyzing an astonishingly wide range of reactions like epoxidation, hydroxylation, demethylation, desaturation, reduction, sulfoxidation, and decarboxylation. Various enzymes in this category are P450s, heme peroxidases, catalases, myoglobin, cytochrome C, and others. Besides this, the natural promiscuity and amenability of these enzymes to protein engineering and evolution have also added several non-native reactions such as C-H, N-H, S-H insertions, cyclopropanation, and other industrially important reactions to their capabilities.
