Scope and Contents

Contents

Tyrosinase catalyzes the oxidation of phenols and catechols (
-diphenols) to
-quinones. The reactivities of
-quinones thus generated are responsible for oxidative browning of plant products, sclerotization of insect cuticle, defense reaction in arthropods, tunichrome biochemistry in tunicates, production of mussel glue, and most importantl...
