Abstract: | Catalytic activity of gamma irradiated catalase from bovine liver was studied for hydrogen peroxide decomposition at constant
temperature and pressure. The measurement was performed at temperatures 27, 32, 37, 42 and 47 °C. Solutions containing 1 and
0.01 g dm−3 of catalase in phosphate buffer were used for the study. Repeatability of both sample preparation and kinetics measurement
was experimentally verified. Rate constants of the reaction were determined for all temperatures and the activation energy
was evaluated from Arrhenius plot. Gamma irradiation was performed using 60Co radionuclide source Gammacell 220 at two different dose rates 5.5 and 70 Gy h−1, with doses ranging from 10 to 1000 Gy. The observed reaction of irradiated and non-irradiated catalase with hydrogen peroxide
is of the first order. Irradiation significantly decreases catalytic activity of catalase, but the activation energy does
not depend markedly on the dose. The effect of irradiation is more significant at higher dose rate. |
