Isoproterenol oxidation by tyrosinase: intermediates characterization and kinetic study. 1985

M Jiménez, and F García-Cánovas, and F García-Carmona, and J L Iborra, and J A Lozano

The present work deals with isoproterenol oxidation by mushroom tyrosinase and sodium metaperiodate. Intermediates produced at short reaction time were characterized by scanning repetitive spectrophotometry and the stoichiometry of the respective aminochrome appearance was established. The oxidation pathway from isoproterenol to aminochrome is parallel to the previously proposed for L-dopa oxidation by mushroom tyrosinase, whose steps are as follow: Isoproterenol----o-quinone-H+----o-quinone----leukoaminochrome---- aminochrome. The stoichiometry for the conversion of o-quinone-H+ into the aminochrome of isoproterenol followed the equation: 2 o-quinone-H+----isoproterenol + aminochrome. The kinetics of chemical reactions that take place from the o-quinone-H+ to aminochrome has been studied as a system of various chemical reactions coupled to an enzymatic reaction (EzCC: Enzymatic-Chemical-Chemical mechanism).

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
