The inhibition effects of melon on mushroom tyrosinase activity

Abstract

The inhibition effects seed and peel of melon on diphenolase activity of mashroom tyrosinase were investigated. The IC₅₀ values and K_i values of seed and peel of melon were evaluated. increased the Km value and decreased the Vm value so it show mixed type inhibition on mushroom tyrosinase when L-DOPA was used as a substrate.
