An enzyme in the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide.

Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚ is a toxic by-product of cellular metabolism in aerobic organisms.

Why Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚ is toxic for cells?

The body produces catalase, an enzyme that decomposes hydrogen peroxide before it can create hydroxyl radicals, to protect itself.

Catalases are ubiquitous enzymes that degrade hydrogen peroxide to water and oxygen (2Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚= 2 Hâ‚‚O + Oâ‚‚) with great efficiency, preventing cell oxidative damage.

Hydrogen peroxide (Hâ‚‚Oâ‚‚) is unique among general poisons in that it is stable in abiotic settings at room temperature and pH, but kills any form of cell quickly by creating extremely reactive hydroxyl radicals.
