How does the presence of HCl affect activity of peroxidase?

The optimum pH for activity of Peroxidase is 5-7 that is about neutral. The Hydrochloric acid reduces the pH and thus inactivates the enzyme with reducing pH.


What is the purpose of GUAIACOL?

Guaicol is used as a substrate for peroxidase activity, when we treat it with enzyme the activity of enzyme increases at a higher rate.

active site


What is the basic difference between catalase and peroxidase?

Catalase is a member of the peroxidase family. Catalase generates water and oxygen while peroxidase generates water and an activated donor molecule. Thus, peroxidase could refer to more than one enzyme.


Compare the stability of oxidase and peroxidase to heat?

Peroxidase is more stable than oxidase, very heat stable. the heat stability is apparent from the fact that if the enzyme is 83 degrees celsius, half the original activity remains after 32 minutes. peroxidases are known to self-regenerate due to reversible degeneration.


Where is peroxidase found?

How does temperature change the affect of peroxidase enzymes?

Higher temperatures will inactivate peroxidase. The amount of inactivation is relative to the temperature.

What is meant by leucostain?

Leucostain is a brand of peroxidase stain that is used to pinpoint peroxidase-positive leukocytes. These leukocytes refer to neutrophils and macrophages.


What effect does boiling the material have on peroxidase activity?

The enzyme will be structurally modified and lose its function, which means that it won't catalyse those reactions anymore. Therefore there will be less breaking down of oxygenated water.
