Abstract

The complex comprising a cationic Mn-porphyrin and carboxymethyl poly(1-vinylimidazole) (CM-PVIm) was prepared as an artificial active center of catalase. Interestingly, the catalase activity of the complex depends on the chain length of the polymer and the chemical structure of Mn-porphyrin. This study is one step forward in the development of a new class of water-soluble catalase mimics.
