1 Tyrosinase-containing chitosan gels: A combined catalyst and sorbent for selective phenol removal. Phenol tyrosinase Homo sapiens
2 For the selective removal of a phenol from a mixture, we are exploiting the substrate specificity of the enzyme tyrosinase to convert phenols into reactive o-quinones which are then adsorbed onto the amine-containing polymer chitosan. Phenol tyrosinase Homo sapiens
3 The chitosan gels rapidly adsorb the tyrosinase-generated product(s) of phenol oxidation while the capacity of the gels is substantially greater than the capacity of chitosan flakes. Phenol tyrosinase Homo sapiens
