Catalytic and Structural Characterization of a Browning-Related Protein in Oriental Sweet Melon (Cucumis Melo var. Makuwa Makino)

Catalytic and Structural Characterization of a Browning-Related Protein in Oriental Sweet Melon (Cucumis Melo var. Makuwa Makino)

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in plants plays an important role in browning reactions and may affect the quality of sweet melon products. In this study, a browning-related protein (BRP) with PPO activity was partially purified from oriental sweet melon (Cucumis melo var. makuwa Makino) by salt precipitat...
