Abstract

Tyrosinases are widely distributed in nature; These enzymes are known as type 3 copper proteins having a diamagnetic spin-coupled copper pair in the active centre. In this study, the objective was to produce stable tyrosinase enzyme efficiently and determine stability of enzyme from an alternative fungal soruce, Funalia trogii. Temperature and pH stabilities of the crude extract of enzyme were studied and it was concluded that crude extract of tyrosinase was stable at 73ºC . pH stability of tyrosinase enzyme was among 3,5-7 ranges.
