A cationized version of this enzyme and cisplatin can cut down on cisplatin's nephrotoxic effects.
A cationized version of this enzyme and cisplatin can cut down on cisplatin's nephrotoxic effects. This enzyme is irreversibly inhibited by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole. A disease in which this enzyme is absent is largely asymptomatic except for an increased risk of oral ulcers and gangrene. An assay for this enzyme involves mixing its unreacted substrate 1:1 with Amplex Red then adding HRP, setting activity of this enzyme inversely proportional to resorufin fluorescence. Clostridium and bacillus species can be distinguished by testing for this enzyme. A 3% solution of this enzyme's substrate is used to distinguish (*) staphylococcus and streptococcus. This enzyme, like hemoglobin contains four heme groups in four active sites. Its kcat of around 4 times 10 to the negative seven means the reaction it catalyzes has a rate largely limited by diffusion. For 10 points, name this catalytically perfect enzyme that breaks down hydrogen peroxide and is formed in peroxisomes.
