IN a recent communication in Nature 1, Dr. P. George described manometric experiments which showed a rapid initial decay of the enzyme compared with which the well-known decay due to irreversible ...

Catalase is a ubiquitous enzyme found in nearly all living organisms, from bacteria to humans. Its primary function is to decompose hydrogen peroxide, a byproduct of metabolic reactions, into water ...

Thousands of different chemical reactions must happen inside a cell ... Liver cells produce the enzyme catalase to speed up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. The chemicals that enzymes act ...

When they investigated further, they realized that H 2 O 2 —a byproduct of the reaction ... with catalase, by introducing a fused genetic code via carriers called plasmids into E. coli bacteria.
