Abstract
We report the ability of 3-amino-L-tyrosine to act as a fully reversible competitive inhibitor of mushroom tyrosinase. The inhibition is linked to the ortho-aminophenol structure, and a coppe bridging mechanism in the active site is proposed.This publication has 16 references indexed in Scilit:
