Résumé
Tyrosinase plays an essential role in melanin biosynthesis and inherently exhibits both monophenolase and diphenolase activity. A first derivative synchronous fluorometric assay was established for directly monitoring monophenolase activity. The zero-crossing point at 322 nm for the first-derivative under synchronous fluorescence with Δλ = 67 nm was utilized to selectively quantify tyrosine in the presence of the reaction product dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). The limit of detection (LOD) for tyrosine was 0.54 μM. The fluorescence intensity of tyrosine was monitored at intervals of 30 s to establish the time course of tyrosine consumption. The LOD for the monophenolase activity was 0.0706 U⋅ mL
