HRP activity was estimated following the technique reported by Sanders et al. [48 (link)], employing ABTS as a reducing substrate—similar to our previous papers [8 (link),35 (link)]. The rate of change in solution absorbance at 405 nm was monitored with an Agilent 8453 UV-visible spectrophotometer (Agilent Technologies Deutschland GmbH, Waldbronn, Germany). The HRP concentration in the quartz spectrophotometric cuvette was 10−9 M, while the concentrations of H2O2 and ABTS were 0.3 mM and 2.5 mM, respectively. Spectrum acquisition was started immediately after the addition of H2O2.
