Proposed Research Project

Project Title

Enzymatic Metabolism of Eugenol

General Information

Advisor: Dr. Bradley E. Sturgeon

Proposal

The purpose of the experiment is to report the observation of radical products of eugenol produced by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide by using HPLC.

Instruments to be used

HPLC and UV-Vis

Experimental
