Tetragonal elongation expressed as the ratio between the manganese-axial oxygen distances and the manganese-equatorial oxygen distances. Peroxidase activity expressed as percentage of conversion of ABTS to ABTS•+ measured 10 min after mixing the solutions; D = H2O or other solvent molecule (such as CH3OH); un.: unavailable (structure not solved).
