Catalase enzyme has two functions, first is catalytic and
destroyed with high temperature.
The second function oxidic , increasing with high temperature.
The catalase enzyme effects on the substrate of ortho –
phenylene diamine turning it into ar
omatic cancerogenus azo
compounds
organic acids such as, benzoic acid, salicylic acid and ascorbic
acid inhibit the effect of catalase enzyme substrate ortho –
phenylene diamine. The inhibition is competitive when the
benzoic acid and salicylic acid effects , while the inhibition is
non competitive when the ascorbic acid effect.
