A scaled-up isolation and purification procedure is described for tyrosinase from Streptomyces antibioticus. Kinetic studies of the enzyme catalysed conversion of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) into DOPAchrome show that kojic acid, L-mimosine, p-toluic acid and benzoic acid exhibit competitive inhibition with inhibition constants of 3.4, 30, 1.9 X 10(2) and 8.0 X 10(2) mu M, respectively. Paramagnetic NMR techniques appear well suited to study the binding of inhibitors to the active site. From the variation of the NMR shifts with temperature a value of -2J = 156 +/- 6 cm(-1) is derived for the exchange coupling between the unpaired spins on the two Cu(II) ions in the active site of the met-tyrosinase/kojic acid complex.
