Catalse Enzyme

I was wondering, if a catalase enzyme solution (or an enzyme solution in general) is just left out at room temperature, can that cause the enzyme to not be as effective later on?

 

 

Yes, certainly. The enzyme may degrade over time, but that can also happen quite quickly if protease contamination is present. Even at -20 enzymes lose quite a bit of their efficiency, which can be accelerated quite a bit buy freeze-thaw cycles.
