When the enzyme catalase comes into contact with its substrate, hydrogen peroxide, it starts breaking it down into water and oxygen. Oxygen is a gas and therefore wants to escape the liquid.

In a perfect world, and healthy body, the peroxide you create will rapidly turn into water and oxygen, with the help of an enzyme called catalase (you make that too).

Enzymes, the core catalysts in life, drive critical biological processes ranging from metabolic regulation to energy conversion. Evolved over billions of years, these versatile molecular machines not ...

This shows that the liver enzyme catalase is working to start the chemical reaction that breaks down the hydrogen peroxide that would be harmful to the body into less dangerous compounds.

Using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy, researcher show that the diffusive movements of catalase enzyme molecules increase in the presence of the substrate, hydrogen peroxide, in a ...

To build the nano-sized robots (10 of them lined up would span a red blood cell), researchers attached catalase enzymes to porous silica nanoparticles.

Researchers from the University of Georgia found a new drug that may boost the brain's ability to heal itself after injury.

Several supplement makers say the enzyme catalase can prevent the growth of gray hair Independent researchers say the concept is intriguing but short on clinical ...

Catalase enzymes play a pivotal role in cellular defence by decomposing hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen, thereby mitigating oxidative stress. These oxidoreductases are ubiquitously found ...

The INEEL team isolated the catalase enzyme from T. brockianus and found its industrial half-life to be 15 days instead of the 15 seconds of other catalase enzymes -- an 86,000-fold improvement.
