Activation parameters for the reconstitution of apotyrosinase by copper
Keyword(s):
The reaction of apotyrosinase with divalent copper to give enzymatically active tyrosinase has been studied at pH 8.2 and temperatures from 278 to 303 K. At a 10-fold excess of Cu(II) over enzyme, the pseudo-first order rate constants range from 1.32 × 10−3 s−1 to 2.93 × 10−2 s−1 and yield activation parameters of ΔH≠ = 85 ± 3 kJ∙mol−1 and ΔS≠ = 5 ± 20 J∙mol−1∙K−1. The near zero value for the entropy of activation is discussed.Key words: tyrosinase, copper.
