Abstract
The effect of molybdate, dithiomolybdate, tetrathiomolybdate and diethyldithiocarbamate on caeruloplasmin amine oxidase activity was examined using o-dianisidine as a substrate. Enzyme activity was inhibited by tetrathiomolybdate (1.5 .times. 10-6 M), oxidation of another substrate, p-phenylenediamine, was inhibited only slightly.
