  • Tyrosinase is a copper-containing enzyme present in plant and animal tissues that catalyzes the production of melanin and other pigments from tyrosine by oxidation. (wikipedia.org)
  • The two copper atoms within the active site of tyrosinase enzymes interact with dioxygen to form a highly reactive chemical intermediate that then oxidizes the substrate. (wikipedia.org)
  • The activity of tyrosinase is similar to catechol oxidase, a related class of copper oxidase. (wikipedia.org)
