Biocatalysis of tyrosinase in organic solvent media using phenolic substrate models

The biocatalysis of tyrosinase was investigated in selected organic solvent media, using catechin as substrate. The results showed that the optimal enzymatic activity was obtained at pH 6.2, 6.6, 6.0 and 6.2 in heptane, toluene, dichloromethane and dichloroethane media, respectively. The kinetic stu...
