In the enzyme lab, we looked at peroxidase activity -an enzyme typically involved in the top reaction of the image below. However, the enzyme will also interact with phenolic compounds like guaiacol instead of NADH (see bottom reaction). We used guaiacol because it changes color to from clear to brown as a way to measure peroxidase activity. Based on what you know and the image Guaiacol (clear) is the ___________________ form of guaiacol while Guaiacol (brown) is the _______________ form of guaiacol.
