Catalase Hydrogen Peroxide Reaction
Reaction of peroxidase with hydrogen peroxide
Peroxidase, an enzyme in the body, reacts with hydrogen peroxide, which is quite wonderful.
Hydrogen peroxide, a strong oxidizing chemical substance. In the body, it may be produced by metabolism. Peroxidase, on the other hand, can catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, turning it into water and oxygen.
When the two meet, it is like yin and yang. The activity check point of peroxidase is like a delicate spoon, which fits the structure of hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide molecule approaches the activity check point, and the two then form a short-lived complex.
In the complex, the peroxidase exerts its catalytic energy. The unique structure of the enzyme makes a clever change in the chemical bond of hydrogen peroxide. The oxygen-oxygen bond gradually relaxes and eventually breaks. It is divided into two, one of which converts into water molecules to obtain hydrogen atoms and is safe; the other converts into oxygen molecules, which escape from the surrounding.
This reaction is of great significance in living things. If hydrogen peroxide accumulates in cells, it may damage the structure and function of cells due to its oxidative properties. Peroxidase catalyzes this decomposition reaction, which is just like a guard, protecting cells in danger, maintaining the stability of cells, and making their metabolism orderly and orderly.
Looking at this reaction, we can also see the wonder of natural creations. The catalysis of enzymes is efficient and specific, and under mild conditions, this important change is achieved. This is not a wonder in a single organism, but also a prime example of the fusion of chemistry and biology.
