Monitoring the heme iron state in horseradish peroxidase to detect ultratrace amounts of hydrogen peroxide in alcohols
Raheleh Ravanfar, Alireza Abbaspourrad
Abstract
Despite the importance of hydrogen peroxide (H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>) in initiating oxidative damage and its connection to various diseases, the detection of low concentrations of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> (<10 μM) is still limited using current methods, particularly in non-aqueous systems.
