A solvent deuterium isotope effect on the catalytic affinity (K(m)) and rate constant (k(cat)) of tyrosinase in its action on 4-tert-butylcatechol (TBC) was observed. Both parameters decreased as the molar fraction of deuterated water in the medium increased, while the

A procedure for calibrating a Clark-type oxygen electrode is described. This method is based on the oxidation of 4-tert-butylcatechol (TBC) by O2 catalyzed by tyrosinase, to yield 4-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone (TBCQ). This reaction consumes known amounts of oxygen in accordance with the

Fibreglass-reinforced plastics (FRP) factory workers are at high risk of developing occupational dermatoses because of their exposure to many chemicals used in the manufacture of plastics as well as to glass fibre or dust. Patch tests were carried out on

Para-tertiary-butylcatechol (PTBC) has been patch tested in Europe at 1% in petrolatum (pet.) and is now suspected of induction of patch test sensitization. A prospective study was initiated to obtain detailed data on this undesirable risk. A dilution series of

Biochimica et biophysica acta, 1597(1), 140-148 (2002-05-16)
The stoichiometry of oxygen consumption during tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation of an o-diphenol (4-tert-butylcatechol, TBC) and a monophenol (4-tert-butylphenol, TBP) has been determined. At high [substrate]/[enzyme] ratios, in the case of o-diphenols, the stoichiometry of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction was always 1 O(2)/2
