Description
Background/Introduction: Ascorbate peroxidase is a hydrogen peroxide-scavenging enzyme that is specific to plants and algae and is indispensable to protect chloroplasts and other cell constituents from damage by hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals produced from it. The assay is initiated with the enzymatic oxidation of AsA by APX. AsA can be measured at a colorimetric readout at 290 nm
