Figure 2

Absorbance spectra of partially purified Mn(II) oxidase. The striking features are the local absorbance maxima at 424 (421 with the reduced spectra) and 457 nm, similar to quinone containing enzymes. There is no characteristic MCO absorbance at 610 nm. The spectrum does not change shape upon oxidation with peroxide or reduction with sulfide or dithionite. Avidin, which is present in this preparation, does not absorb above 300 nm.
