Abstract EN
Peroxidases have turned out to be potential biocatalyst for a variety of organic reactions.
The research work reported in this communication was done with the objective of finding a convenient rich source of peroxidase which could be used as a biocatalyst for organic synthetic reactions.
The studies made have shown that Luffa aegyptiaca (gourd) fruit juice contains peroxidase activity of the order of 180 enzyme unit/mL.
The Km values of this peroxidase for the substrates guaiacol and hydrogen peroxide were 2.0 and 0.2 mM, respectively.
The pH and temperature optima were 6.5 and 60°C, respectively.
Like other peroxidases, it followed double displacement type mechanism.
Sodium azide inhibited the enzyme competitively with Ki value of 3.35 mM.
