Abstract

Agaricus bisporous tyrosinase was immobilized on commercial available epoxy-resin Eupergit® C250L and then coated by the Layer-by-Layer method (LbL). The two novel heterogeneous biocatalysts were characterized for their morphology, pH and storage stability, kinetic properties (Km, Vmax, Vmax/Km) and reusability. These biocatalysts were used for the efficient and selective synthesis of bioactive catechols under mild and ...
