additional information | Aspergillus niger | tyrosinase is a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the o-monohydroxylation of monophenols (phenols) to their corresponding o-diphenols (o-cresolase or monophenolase, EC 1.14.18.1) and their subsequent oxidation (catechol oxidase or diphenolase, EC 1.103.1) into reactive o-quinones. Molecular oxygen is used as an electron acceptor, and it is reduced to water in both the reactions. Subsequently, the resulting o-quinones undergo non-enzymatic oxido-reduction reactions with various nucleophilic moieties, producing intermediates which auto-polymerize spontaneously in dark brown pigments. The monophenolase activity is the initial rate-determining reaction in the process | ? | - |
