The key role of catechol oxidase in enzymatic browning makes it a common target for inhibition. While a number of inhibitory strategies exist such as high temperature treatments(70-90 °C) to eliminate catechol oxidase catalytic activity, [6] a popular strategy is decreasing the pH with citric acid. Catechol oxidase is more catalytically active ...
There are three structural isomers: 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (the ortho isomer) is commonly known as catechol, 1,3-dihydroxybenzene (the meta isomer) is commonly known as resorcinol, and 1,4-dihydroxybenzene (the para isomer) is commonly known as hydroquinone. [1]
By 1852, Erdmann realized that catechol was benzene with two oxygen atoms added to it; in 1867, August Kekulé realized that catechol was a diol of benzene, so by 1868, catechol was listed as pyrocatechol. [7] In 1879, the Journal of the Chemical Society recommended that catechol be called "catechol", and in the following year, it was listed as ...
Hemocyanin is homologous to the phenol oxidases (e.g. tyrosinase) since both proteins have histidine residues, called "type 3" copper-binding coordination centers, as do the enzymes tyrosinase and catechol oxidase. [19] In both cases inactive precursors to the enzymes (also called zymogens or proenzymes) must be activated first. This is done by ...

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are catechol and O 2, whereas its two products are [[dibenzo[1,4]dioxin-2,3-dione]] and H 2 O. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is catechol:oxygen oxidoreductase ...
Figure 1. The overall reaction of catechol 1,2-dioxygenase. Using a non-heme iron(III) complex, 1,2-CTD is able to oxidatively cleave catechol into cis,cis-muconic acid. More specifically, 1,2-CTD is an intradiol dioxygenase, a family of catechol dioxygenases that cleaves the bond between the phenolic hydroxyl groups of catechol using an Fe 3 ...
Catechol dioxygenases are metalloprotein enzymes that carry out the oxidative cleavage of catechols.This class of enzymes incorporate dioxygen into the substrate.Catechol dioxygenases belong to the class of oxidoreductases and have several different substrate specificities, including catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.1), catechol 2,3-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.2), and protocatechuate 3,4 ...
