Photoinactivation of catalase sensitizes a wide range of bacteria to ROS-producing agents and immune cells
Bacteria have evolved to cope with the detrimental effects of ROS using their essential molecular components. Catalase, a heme-containing tetramer protein expressed universally in most aerobic bacteria, plays an indispensable role in scavenging excess hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Here, through use of w...
