| Application: | Catalase from Micrococcus lysodeikticus has been used to eliminate excess of hydrogen peroxide production during sugar analog synthesis by in vitro biocatalytic cascade. It has also been used as a standard to evaluate oxidative stress by indirectly measuring catalytic activity. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Catalase rapidly converts hydrogen peroxide to oxygen and water. It exhibits antioxidant activity and elicits a defense mechanism against reactive oxygen species (ROS). Catalase plays a role in neutralizing noxious hydrogen peroxide in nature as well as in various industries such as textile, pharma, and dairy. Micrococcus lysodeikticus catalase is a haem-containing protein. |
| Unit Definition: | 1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which decomposes 1 μmol H2O2 per minute at pH 7.0 and 25 °C |
