Polyphenol oxidases in plants. Recent progress

Abstract Progress in the plant polyphenol oxidases in the period 1978–1986 is summarized. Methodology, occurrence, properties and physiological function of laccases and catechol oxidases are critically reviewed. The advances in the understanding of reaction mechanisms are cited. The plant polyphenoloxidases remain enzymes in search of a function.
