Function of a cloned polyphenolase in organic synthesis
The enzyme polyphenolase, which catalyses the oxidation of phenols to catechols and subsequently dehydrogenates these to o-quinones, is widely distributed in nature. The multicopy plasmid vector pIJ702 contains a mel gene from Streptomyces antibioticus, that codes for the production of a polyphenol...
