The enzyme GPx1 uses this molecule to reduce a pair of glutathione ["glue"-tuh-"THY-OWN"] molecules and form a disulfide bond between them.
The enzyme GPx1 uses this molecule to reduce a pair of glutathione ["glue"-tuh-"THY-OWN"] molecules and form a disulfide bond between them. This chemical's reaction with diphenyl oxalate initiates the reaction that lights up a glowstick. Despite its freezing point being very close to 0 Â°C, this compound forms a eutectic [yoo-TEK-tik] with water which freezes at Â–51 Â°C. This compound is used to trigger assays whose target molecules are conjugated to an enzyme derived from (*) horseradish. mCPBA is often used in place of this compound due to its superior selectivity. The disproportionation reaction catalyzed by superoxide dismutase forms water and this compound as products, and it is decomposed by catalase into oxygen and water. This substance, which decomposes when in light, is used as a disinfectant and to bleach hair. For 10 points, name this compound with formula H2O2.
