Beyond monofunctionality: structural perspectives on phenol oxidase side activity in a catalase. [PDF]
Structural and biochemical characterization of the extracellular fungal catalase ClCPO uncovers an unexpected phenol oxidase promiscuity. Crystal structures, substrate docking and electron‐transfer pathway analysis identify ligand‐binding regions and support a working mechanistic model for catalase‐associated phenol oxidase activity.Catalases are ...

Catechol oxidase — structure and activity [PDF]
Recently determined structures of copper-containing plant catechol oxidase in three different catalytic states have provided new insights into the mechanism of this enzyme and its relationship to other copper type-3 proteins. Moreover, the active site of catechol oxidase has been found to be structurally conserved with the oxygen-binding site of a ...

Structural and spectroscopic studies of a model for catechol oxidase [PDF]
A binuclear copper complex, [Cu2(BPMP) (OAc)2][ClO4] x H2O, has been prepared using the binucleating ligand 2,6-bis[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethylamino)methyl]-4-methylphenol (H-BPMP). The X-ray crystal structure reveals the copper centers to have a five-coordinate square pyramidal geometry, with the acetate ligands bound terminally.

A Novel Catechol Oxidase Enzyme Electrode for the Specific Determination of Catechol
An enzyme electrode for the specific determination of catechol was developed by using catechol oxidase (EC 1.10.3.1) from eggplant (Solanum melangena L.) in combination with a dissolved oxygen probe. Optimization studies of the prepared catechol oxidase enzyme electrode established a phosphate buffer 50 mM at pH 7.0 and 35°C to provide the optimum ...

THE GENETIC CONTROL AND BIOCHEMICAL MODIFICATION OF CATECHOL OXIDASE IN MAIZE [PDF]
ABSTRACT Three isozyme variants of catechol oxidase have been shown to be determined by alleles of a gene, Cx, which has been located on chromosome 10 less than 0.1 recombination units from the endosperm marker du 1.—The extractable form of the enzyme is modified by an endogeneous "modifier" which appears to function as an enzyme ...

Bananas decrease acetaminophen potency in in vitro assays. [PDF]
Edible portions of bananas contain high levels of polyphenol oxidase, which catalyzes reactions in the melanin formation pathway. Tyrosine, a physiological substrate of polyphenol oxidase, has an analogous structure to acetaminophen.

Sun et al. proposed an axial boron coordination strategy to reconstruct the stereostructure of Cu SAzymes and enable them to serve as efficient laccase mimics for high‐throughput smart sensor array detection of phenolic pollutants in water phases. ABSTRACT Developing single‐atom nanozymes with stereoconfigurations is a new paradigm for biomimetic ...
