Surface layer of wool. I. Dityrosine synthesis and characterization

An assay of the enzymic oxidation of tyrosine to dityrosine was performed to determine the optimum conditions for dityrosine formation. Improvements were introduced into the method for dityrosine synthesis and purification so as to obtain a higher yield (10%) of pure dityrosine. The product served a...

Description
Summary:An assay of the enzymic oxidation of tyrosine to dityrosine was performed to determine the optimum conditions for dityrosine formation. Improvements were introduced into the method for dityrosine synthesis and purification so as to obtain a higher yield (10%) of pure dityrosine. The product served as a reliable reference for studies of the dityrosine content of wool. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 66: 2359–2363, 1997
