Tyrosinases catalyze theo-hydroxylation of monophenols (monophenolase activity) and the oxidation ofo-diphenols too-quinones (diphenolase activity) and possess a dinuclear copper active site. The O2binding kinetics of oxytyrosinase is studied by flash-photolysis measurements, and the O2binding rate constant (kO2) is obtained askO2= 13 ± 3 μM-1s-1. Small molecules, such as carbon monoxide andp-nitrophenol (a substrate−analogue inhibitor), are demonstrated to affect O2binding kinetics. The activation enthalpy of the rate-limiting step of O2binding is calculated by the temperature dependence ofkO2to be 12.8 ± 2.6 kcal/mol.
