Enzymes and their role in the human body

WEBOne thing that enzymes do in our bodies is to break down toxic substances. Just by breathing we produce hydrogen peroxide, H 2 O 2. To prevent it building up, we have an enzyme called catalase that breaks it down quickly: 2H 2 O 2 → 2H 2 O + O 2. You can see the effect that catalase has on hydrogen peroxide with a simple experiment …
