This work describes a general method for the encapsulation of enzymes with albumin as wall material and the enzyme catalase as prime example. Care was taken for the preparation of biochemically active sub-micrometer particles in order to prevent oxygen toxicity induced by artificial oxygen carriers of any type. In cell culture experiments, capsules containing catalase did not exhibit any harmful activities in the absence of peroxides. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide application of low and medium dosed capsules below 0.05 vol% (final concentration 0.001 vol%) even increased the cell damaging process. However, a higher dosage of capsules (> 0.05 vol%) prevented completely cellular disruption induced by 5 mM hydrogen peroxide and decreased up to 90% of cellular damage at higher peroxide concentrations. These results demonstrated that encapsulated catalase was enzymatically active and the over-all activity of prepared catalase capsules was determined to be > 1000 U * mL-1 * vol%-1.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
