## Abstract Tyrosinase was immobilized on polystyrene latex particles in order to control amounts of the enzyme. The tyrosinase‐coated latex particles were composed of the core polystyrene and four successive coating layers: polystyrene sulfonate, polyallylamine, tyrosinase and polyallylamine again
A cyclic reaction between catechol and 1,2-benzoquinone takes place by combining the tyrosinase reaction and the chemical reduction of 1,2benzoquinone to catechol by L-ascorbic acid. Catechol is oxidized by the dissolved oxygen catalysed by the enzyme and its consumption is not compensated for by th
