Abstract
Peroxidases are enzymes that use various peroxides as electron acceptors in oxidation, and are widespread in nature. Their activities are usually determined by spectrophotometric methods, which a condensation or oxidation product is formed in the presence of H2O2, or by titrimetric methods, using potassium permanganate or sodium thiosulfate, which measure free hydrogen peroxide in solution.
Keywords: Peroxidase, hydrogen peroxide, alkyl peroxides, benzyl peroxide, catalase, lactoperoxidase, myeloperoxidase, horseradish peroxidase, vanadium bromoperoxidase, lignin peroxidase, glutathione peroxidase, cytochrome C peroxidase, guaiacol.
