I have recently done an experiment looking at the effect of inhibitor (silver 
nitrate) hydrogen peroxide and catalase but have been using catalase in yeast 
suspension. how does this effect the reaction- i have heard it kills the yeast 
which ferment to produce ethanol which further inhibits the reaction.
