in the presence of 1% polyethyleneimine. The stabilising effect towards tert-butyl hydroperoxide was even more impressive. The half-life of the chloroperoxidase when exposed to a solution of 40 mM tert-butyl hydroperoxide increased from 3.2 minutes to ≥ 70 hours in presence of 0.1% polyethyleneimine.
