  Abstract:  The reaction of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of catalase has been investigated by means of a Clark oxygen sensor, in the presence and absence of various concentrations of Atenolol – a -blocker drug - having an inhibiting role. The Michaelis – Menten kinetic parameters have been determined from Lineweaver-Burk plots. The inhibition pattern we have deduced, suggested by the Lineweaver - Burk plots, corresponds to a fully mixed inhibition mechanism. Inhibition constants KI and KI’ were determined. A kinetic method for the determination of Atenolol has been suggested.
