    • Abstract The enzyme phenoloxidase from the enzyme gland in the foot of Perna viridis Linnaeus 1758 has been characterized electrophoretically. After fractionation, the gels were incubated in various phenolic substrates: catechol, Dopa, dopamine, hydroquinone, and tyrosine. The behavioural differences exhibited by phenoloxidase on incubation in different substrates have been discussed and compared with similar observations from insects. The occurrence of phenoloxidase in multiple forms has also… CONTINUE READING
