... considering the oxidation of the substrate byT. reesei TYR2. The closer to the hydroxyl group of phenol the amino group was, the slower was the oxida-tion of the substrate. For most of the substrates ... changes the redox potential of the phenolic substrates, makingthem more easily oxidized. Therefore, the pH profilereflects not only the optimal behavior of the enzyme,but also changes in the substrate. ... these states are alternated, has beenproposed [16]. The met state is the resting state of the enzyme, and in the absence of substrate about 85–90% of the enzyme is in this state [16]. Both the...
