This paper reports a quantitative study of the effect ring substituents in 1‐position aromatic on rate monophenol hydroxylation and o ‐diphenol oxidation catalyzed by tyrosinase. A possible correlation between electron density carbon atom supporting oxygen from monophenolic hydroxyl group V M max values for each was found. In case ‐diphenols same observed but size side‐chain became very important. NMR studies monophenols justified sequence obtained. As regards ‐diphenols, other hand, only...
The reaction of mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) tyrosinase with dioxygen in the presence several o-diphenolic substrates has been studied by steady-state and transient-phase kinetics order to elucidate rate-limiting step provide new insights into mechanism oxidation these substrates. A kinetic analysis allowed for first time determination individual rate constants partial reactions that comprise catalytic cycle. Mushroom rapidly reacts a second-order constant k(+8) = 2.3 x 10(7) M(-)(1)...

ABSTRACT Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was isolated from grapes grown in Spain and its characteristics were studied. The partially purified enzyme had both cresolase catecholase activities. Catecholase activity a pH optimum range 3.5–4.5 characterized by relatively high stability to heat. apparent K M for 4‐methylcatechol 9.5 mM. Cresolase presents lag period which is modulated different factors: concentration, substrate temperature or pH. presence of o‐diphenols the reaction medium abolishes...
This paper reports a quantitative study of the effect ring substituents on rate monophenol hydroxylation and o-diphenol oxidation catalyzed by apple pear polyphenol oxidases. A good correlation between electronic density at carbon atom in 4-position aromatic for each Vmax values was found. However, this not so 3- 4-positions o- diphenols assayed.

The Michaelis constant of tyrosinase for oxygen in the presence monophenols and o-diphenols, which generate a cyclizable o-quinone, has been studied. This depends on nature monophenol o-diphenol is always lower former than latter. From mechanism proposed from its kinetic analysis [Rodríguez-López, J. N., Tudela, J., Varón, R., García-Carmona, F.
