| Abstract: | Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) of garland chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum coronarium L.) was purified approximately 32-fold with a recovery rate of 16% by ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, and gel filtration. The purified enzyme appeared as a single band on PAGE and SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 47000 and 45000 by gel filtration and SDS-PAGE, respectively. The purified enzyme quickly oxidized chlorogenic acid and (-)-epicatechin. The K(m) value (Michaelis constant) of the enzyme was 2.0 mM for chlorogenic acid (pH 4.0, 30 degrees C) and 10.0 mM for (-)-epicatechin (pH 8.0, 40 degrees C). The optimum pH was 4.0 for chlorogenic acid oxidase (ChO) and 8.0 for (-)-epicatechin oxidase (EpO). In the pH range from 5 to 11, their activities were quite stable at 5 degrees C for 22 h. The optimum temperatures of ChO and EpO activities were 30 and 40 degrees C, respectively. Both activities were stable at up to 50 degrees C after heat treatment for 30 min. The purified enzyme was strongly inhibited by l-ascorbic acid and l-cysteine at 1 mM. |
