Table 7.

Summary of the mutations to the thioether bridge constituent, the seventh His and the disulfide bonds: effects on PPOs′ copper content and diphenolase/monophenolase activity. The modification of copper content and the activities′ rate are described compared to the wild type of the corresponding enzymes.
