4-Tertiary butyl catechol (TBC) causes depigmentation in humans and animals and stimulates formation of pheomelanosomes. In this study, we investigated the effects of noncytotoxic doses of TBC on glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity in the skin of Uscd strain mice and

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
