Abstract: | Catechol oxidase was extracted from an acetone powder prepared from green olive. The enzyme was purified 240-fold by ammonium sulphate fractionation followed by ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The enzyme was characterized by substrate specificity and response to inhibitors. Between 7 and 9 bands having catechol oxidase activity could be detected by gel electrophoresis and electrofocusing. The purified enzyme had an estimated MW of 42 000. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by diethyldithiocarbamate. Inhibition by chloride was strongly dependent on pH. The enzyme did not oxidise monophenols. |
