On the mechanism of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by catalase
Abstract
In a previous paper (Keilin and Hartree 1936) it was shown that catalase combines reversibly not only with KCN and H2S as was shown by Zeile and Hellstrom (1930) or with C2H5OOH (Stern 1936) but also with NaN3, NH2OH, N2H4, NaF and NO, giving corresponding spectroscopically well defined compounds. In this respect and in the general pattern of the absorption spectrum, catalase shows a striking resemblance to acid methaemoglobin. It differs, however, from the latter in three important properties, namely:

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
