Summary Introduction

To illustrate: The chemical reaction that is involved in the degradation of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalase.

Introduction: Catalase is an enzyme that is usually produced by microbes that thrive in oxygenated environments to degrade the toxic forms of oxygen metabolites. For example, hydrogen peroxides (H2O2) and superoxide. This enzyme neutralizes the bactericidal effect of H2O2 and thereby protects the organism.
