Inhibition of the Tyrosinase Oxidation of One Substrate by Another

The catalytic oxidation of catechol by crude preparations of mushroom tyrosinase was studied by a method yielding data on initial reaction velocities. Graphical analysis of the results suggests that an excess of catechol inhibits its own oxidation by a competitive process, thus accounting for the o...
