Specification

• Species: Mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus)
• Source: Mushroom
• Description: Polyphenol oxidase (tyrosinase) (TY) is a bifunctional, copper-containing oxidase having both catecholase and cresolase activity. The enzyme is a tetramer containing four gram atoms of copper per molecule, and two binding sites for aromatic compounds including phenolic substrates. There is also a distinctly different binding site for oxygen, the copper site. The copper is probably in the cuprous state; inactivation of the enzyme is associated with increase in Cu2+.
