Description
- Hydrogen peroxide is a harmful byproduct of many normal metabolic processes
- to prevent damage to cells and tissues, it must be quickly converted into other, less dangerous substances
- To this end, catalase is frequently used by cells to rapidly catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into less-reactive gaseous oxygen and water molecules
- CAS Number: 9001-05-2 EC Number: 232-577-1 MDL Number: MFCD00081483 Format: Dark green powder Specific Activity: ∽13,000U/mg solid Extinction Coefficient: 36.5 (276nm) Isoelectric point (pI): 5.4 Dissolves readily at 5mg/mL in 0.05M sodium/potassium phosphate (pH 7.0) giving clear green solution Used in the food industry for removing hydrogen peroxide from milk prior to cheese production.
