β¦ Synopsis
Very briefly, the present state of knowledge on the latent, lumen oriented polyphenol oxidase (PPO) of the chloroplast is reviewed. The location of PPO in the thylakoid membrane was described by D. Arnon 46 years ago. The N-terminus sequence of the spinach enzyme is reported. A historical sketch is given of the discovery of photophosphorylation and Arnon's visit to the admired O. Warburg.

## Abstract Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) obtained from wheat bran catalyzed the oxidation of 4βmethyl catechol. Phenolic compounds found naturally in crude extract played role as an endogeneous substrate and activity of crude extract needed correction. Activity versus enzyme concentration gave a linear
The polyphenol oxidase activity of Isoparorchis hypselobagri was estimated biochemically and was believed to be associated with egg-shell formation in the parasite. The eggs gave positive tests to color reaction of scleroprotein/melanin.
