[Catalase inactivation during storage in solution and its stabilization by polysaccharides of microbial origin]

It has been experimentally shown that the rate of inactivation of pure catalase in solution does not obey the kinetics of the first order. The kinetics of denaturation taking into account partial stabilization of catalase due to the formation of intermolecular complexes of native molecules with denatured molecules has been derived. Using the equation, the rate of catalase inativation during storage in pure solutions has been calculated from the experimental data. Polysaccharides of microbial origin can also stabilize catalase. The kinetics of catalase inactivation in the system where the enzyme and polysaccharide forms a reversibly dissociating complex has been described.
