Abstract: | A melanin biosynthetic enzyme, scytalone dehydratase, which converts scytalone to 1,3,8-trihydroxynaphthalene was purified from mycelia of Cochliobolus miyabeanus. Enzymatic reactions were carried out under anaerobic conditions to prevent unfavorable oxidative reactions. This enzyme had an optimum pH near 8.2 and mol w 23,000 Da. The enzymatic reaction did not require NADPH as a cofactor and was not inhibited by the melanin biosynthesis inhibitors, tricyclazole, PP 389, pyroquilon, PCBA, and phthalide |
