Abstract
- The studies about mushroom tyrosinase which behaves as an external monooxygenase and catalyzes the asymmetric oxidation of organic sulfides to corresponding sulfoxides in the presence of suitable reducing agents, catechol are reported. The results provide insight into different experimental mechanism to increase enantioselectivity of tyrosinase activity.
