“…An LMCT band was observed for the resulting films ( Figure S11), suggesting the formation of ironcatechol complexes during stage II. Theaddition of FeCl 2 can both enhance the catalytic performance of tyrosinase by promoting hydroxylation of tyrosine [25] and provide iron ions to chelate catechol-containing molecules in solution. [26] This is confirmed by the control experiments,w hich demonstrated that the film formed after incubation for 3h solely with tyrosinase in the absence of FeCl 2 has atotal thickness (stage I and stage II) of % 12.1 nm.…”

“…In the kinetic studies, lag time is the time required for the resting met form to be drawn into the active deoxy form by the reducing agent, arising via action of the small amounts of the oxy form that usually accompany the met form. In the presence of reducing agents known as cofactors, especially o-diphenol derivatives such as L-DOPA and (+)-catechin, tyrosinase was activated and the lag time was shortened or abolished as shown in figure 2 [38,46,47]. L-DOPA at a very low concentration was the most effective reducing agent for eliminating lag time.…”

“…Kinetic studies of the steady state of the pathway show the lower catalytic efficiency of tyrosinase on monophenols than on o-diphenols [35,44,45]. Monophenolase activity is typically characterized by a lag time [42,43,46,47] which is dependent on factors such as substrate and enzyme concentrations, and presence of a hydrogen donor [6]. In the kinetic studies, lag time is the time required for the resting met form to be drawn into the active deoxy form by the reducing agent, arising via action of the small amounts of the oxy form that usually accompany the met form.…”

“…An LMCT band was observed for the resulting films (Figure S11), suggesting the formation of iron–catechol complexes during stage II. The addition of FeCl 2 can both enhance the catalytic performance of tyrosinase by promoting hydroxylation of tyrosine and provide iron ions to chelate catechol‐containing molecules in solution . This is confirmed by the control experiments, which demonstrated that the film formed after incubation for 3 h solely with tyrosinase in the absence of FeCl 2 has a total thickness (stage I and stage II) of ≈12.1 nm.…”
