The Tyrosinase Produced by Lentinula boryana (Berk. & Mont.) Pegler Suffers Substrate Inhibition by L-DOPA

We undertook a preliminary characterization of the tyrosinase produced by a strain of Lentinula boryana from Brazil, with a view to evaluate its potential for biotechnological applications. The enzyme was similar to other fungal tyrosinases in many respects. When the crude extract was characterized,...
