T1 - Mechanism of catalase action
AU - Kremer, Mordechai L.
PY - 1983
Y1 - 1983
N2 - Extensions of the peroxidatic mechanism of catalase action are discussed. Schemes involving a ternary catalase-biperoxy complex are found to be at variance with the experimental results. Energetic and kinetic data are in agreement with a mechanism in which two monoperoxy complexes are formed consecutively. The relationship to other iron-containing catalytic systems for the decomposition of H2O2 is discussed.
