Inhibition of Human Tyrosinase Requires Molecular Motifs Distinctively Different from Mushroom Tyrosinase

Purification of Tyrosinase from Edible Mushroom

The inhibition effects of melon on mushroom tyrosinase activity

The  inhibition effects seed and peel of melon on diphenolase activity of mashroom tyrosinase were investigated. The IC50 values and Ki values of seed and peel of melon were evaluated. increased the Km value and decreased the Vm value so it show mixed type inhibition on mushroom tyrosinase when L-DOPA was used as a substrate.

Mushroom tyrosinase inhibition activity of some chromones.

Currently, aloesin is used in the cosmetic industry as a whitening agent because it inhibits tyrosinase activity. Aloesin is a C-glycosylated chromone compound isolated from aloe, and it is difficult to synthesize because of C-glycosyl moiety in the molecule. The purpose of this study is to search for a new chromone compound which is easy to synthesize and which posesses stronger tyrosinase inh...

kinetic of mushroom tyrosinase inhibition by benzaldehyde derivatives

polyphenol oxidase (ppo), also known as tyrosinase (ec 1.14.18.1), is a copper-containing enzyme widely distributed in microorganisms, animals, and plants. this enzyme is responsible not only for browning in plants but also for melanization in animals. thus, tyrosinase inhibitors have a huge impact on industry and the economy. in the current study, we first purified the enzyme, then evaluated i...

Physicochemical and kinetic properties of mushroom tyrosinase.

Tyrosinase (o-diphenol: O2 oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.1) has been purified from a commercial lyophilized powder prepared from edible mushrooms. Specific activities toward DL-dihydroxyphenylalanine and catechol, homogeneity, molecular weight, absorption spectrum, amino acid composition, and copper content of the preparation are comparable to other purified samples of tyrosinase prepared from fres...
