Strategies tested in mice include the use of nanomedicine or hydrogels loaded with catalase — an enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen — to decompose hydrogen peroxide ...

Liver cells produce the enzyme catalase to speed up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. The chemicals that enzymes act on are called substrates and the substances produced are called products.

Liver cells produce the enzyme catalase to speed up the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide. Enzymes can speed up the break down of complex molecules into simpler molecules or the building up of simple ...
