Abstract
The enormous catalytic potential of enzymes was recognized in the beginning of this century. Ever since, extensive studies have been carried out to elucidate the principles of biological catalysis. The major research areas included the reaction kinetics, the structural and physico-chemical characteristics, and the specificity of enzymatic preparations (Dixon and Weeb, 1979). To facilitate the evaluation of complex enzymatic systems, chemical models have been developed to mimic enzyme activity. Such a biomimetic approach has been applied to model the oxidation reactions which are controlled by catalytic systems involving enzymes of high selectivity (Matsuura, 1977).
