Potentials of purified tyrosinase from yam (Dioscorea spp) as a biocatalyst in the synthesis of cross-linked protein networks

We report the usefulness of yam tyrosinase as a catalyst in the synthesis of cross-linked protein networks for biopolymers. The enzyme was purified using aqueous two-phase partitioning (ATPs) and peptide mapping on SDS-PAGE was carried out to ascertain degree of similarities of tyrosinase from the y...
