摘要: Two catechol oxidases have been isolated from sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas) and purified to homogeneity. The two isozymes characterized by EXAFS, EPR-, UV/Vis-spectroscopy, isoelectric focusing, MALDI-MS shown contain a dinuclear copper center. Both are monomers with molecular mass of 39 kDa 40 kDa, respectively. Substrate specificity NH2-terminal sequences determined. EXAFS data for the enzyme reveal coordination number four each Cu in resting form suggest Cu(II)-Cu(II) distance 2.9 A native met 3.8 oxy form.
