catalasebased
Catalase-based refers to systems that rely on the enzyme catalase to decompose hydrogen peroxide. This includes enzymes, immobilized materials, and devices that incorporate catalase activity or mimic it. The core reaction is 2 H2O2 → 2 H2O + O2, enabling rapid detoxification of hydrogen peroxide in biological and engineered contexts. Natural catalase is a heme-containing enzyme found in peroxisomes of most aerobic organisms and tends to work best near neutral pH and moderate temperatures.
Applications of catalase-based systems span several fields. In biosensing and diagnostics, catalase-based components can generate or
Immobilization and integration are key design aspects. Catalase can be attached to surfaces, encapsulated in polymers
Measurement of catalase activity typically tracks oxygen production, depletion of hydrogen peroxide, or colorimetric changes in
