The roots of Taraxacum officianle is a rich source for catalase. The enzyme can be easily extracted by homogenization in phosphate buffer. The optimal pH for enzyme activity was 7, at an optimal concentration of H2O2 around 50 mM. The optimal temperature interval for the assays was between 30 - 40°C. In these conditions the KM was 105 mM. The influence of the irradiation of the enzymatic extract with different microwave powers for different interval of time was assessed. The inactivation of catalase from taraxacum roots increase when the irradiation time is raised from 30 till 120 s. At microwave powers until 640 W the inactivation of enzyme is less than 50% from the initial activity. There were not observed any post-radiation phenomena (like further inactivation or re-activation). 000000476 6531_ $$acatalase 000000476 6531_ $$aTaraxacum officinale 000000476 6531_ $$amicrowave radiation 000000476 6531_ $$aenzyme inactivation 000000476 690C_ $$aBCUT 000000476 700__ $$aLacrama, Ana-Maria$$uof Chemisry, Pestalozzi 16, Timisoara 300115, ROMANIA 000000476 700__ $$aIsvoran, Adriana$$uWest University of Timisoara, Faculty of Chemistry-Biology-Geography, Department 000000476 700__ $$aOstafe, Vasile$$uWest University of Timisoara, Faculty of Chemistry-Biology-Geography, Department 000000476 8560_ $$fromdoc.admin@romdoc.upb.ro 000000476 8564_ $$uhttp://romdoc.upb.ro/record/476/files/$$xY$$zAccess to Fulltext 000000476 909CO $$o$$p 000000476 909CO $$pglobal 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 909CO $$promdoc:thesis 000000476 980__ $$aARTICLE
