Biochem/physiol Actions

Laccase is a blue copper oxidase that reduces molecular oxygen to water. Laccase oxidizes polyphenols, methoxy-substituted phenols and diamines, but not tyrosine. Oxidation by laccase is an one-electron reaction that generates a free radical .

Unit Definition

1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which converts 1 μmol catechol per minute at pH 6.0 and 25°C
