Abstract:Tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) is an enzyme required for transforming L -Tyrosine into p -Coumaric acid. The objective of the experiment is to extract TAL from Basella alba to treat hyperpigmentation a condition caused due to excessive production of Melanin pigment accumulating in the epidermal cells. Firstly, the separation of proteins was done using an organic solvent, acetone. In the second step the presence of the enzyme was confirmed by the formation of p-coumaric acid which was detected by using UV-Visible… Show more
