WHEN catalase is added to hydrogen peroxide, there is an initial rapid evolution of oxygen which lasts for about two minutes, depending on the peroxide concentration. After this, oxygen is given ...

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).

Catalase is present in the cells of nearly all living organisms, so next time you want to amuse the kids with a fun science trick, pour some hydrogen peroxide on half of a raw potato and watch it ...

While hydrogen peroxide does have known antiseptic properties, it may do more harm than good when it comes to wound care.

Cancer researchers have homed in on how high-dose vitamin C kills cancer cells. Vitamin C breaks down to generate hydrogen peroxide, which can damage tissue and DNA. The new study shows that tumor ...

Catalase is an antioxidant enzyme responsible for the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Acatalasemia represents a very rare genetic disorder with an estimated frequency of 1 in ...

Catalase enzymes chemically alter hydrogen peroxide into natural products – water and oxygen. Industry is increasingly using peroxide in industrial bleaching processes and needs an ...

We all get gray hair at some point. While some people wear it with pride, others would like to delay its appearance as long ...

A new paper by researchers from the USA and China and published on the preprint server bioRxiv in July 2020 discusses a new drug based on the catalase enzyme, which could play a vital part in ...
