Abstract
A crude extract of potatoes which manifests estrinase and tyrosinase activity has been fractionated. A purified fraction contained tyrosinase but not estrinase. Active estrinase free from tyrosinase was not obtained. Addition of boiled crude extract of potatoes or traces of catechol to purified tyrosinase did not restitute the estrinase activity originally manifested by the extract. Possible relations between tyrosinase and estrinase are discussed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
