Enzyme Chemistry of Phenolic Compounds
Proceedings of the Plant Phenolics Group Symposium, Liverpool, April 1962
About This Book
Enzyme Chemistry of Phenolic Compounds documents the proceedings of the Plant Phenolics Group Symposium held at Liverpool on April 11-12 1962. This book focuses on the interaction of enzymes and phenolic compounds, oxidation-reduction systems in plants and microorganisms, and phenolase complex. Other topics discussed include purification of phenol oxidases; enzyme-substrate specificity in potato polyphenol oxidase; tocopherols; and role of ubiquinone and plastoquinone in plant metabolism. Hydrolytic enzymes; enzyme inhibition by phenolic compounds; tannin inhibition of plant mitochondria; and aromatic acid-reducing systems in fungi are also deliberated in this selection. This publication is beneficial to students and biochemists researching on enzyme and phenolic compounds.
