Fig. 2. Effect of pH on the activity of partially purified enzymes from Mucuna pruriens. The assay was performed using 50 mM catechol and 30 mM L-tyrosine as substrates for the PPO and TH enzyme activity, respectively. Four different buffers with their optimal buffering capacity in the pH range of 3–10 were used in separate assays.
