Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The assay was based on the formation of L-dopachrome by the action of mushroom tyrosinase enzyme on its substrate, l-tyrosine (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) [35 (link)]. An aliquot of 10 μL of tyrosinase (250 U/mL, Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) was supplemented to the wells of a 96-well plate containing 60 μL of diluted unhydrolyzed EBN, HPJ, HPP, HAJ, HBM, and HCJ from the hydrolysis at 0 and 4 h at the initial EBN concentrations of 0.0325, 0.075, 0.15, 0.3, and 0.6 mg/mL. This step was followed by the incubation of the plate at room temperature for 20 min and the addition of 140 μL of l-tyrosine (0.3 mg/mL) in phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). The absorbance of L-dopachrome at 480 nm was monitored in a microplate reader (VICTOR Nivo Filter, PerkinElmer, USA). The anti-tyrosinase ability of the samples was calculated as follows: Where.

B1: Absorbance of l-tyrosine (negative control)

B2: Absorbance of the sample after reacting with tyrosinase

B3 and B4: Absorbance of the blank for the negative control and sample, respectively.

The IC50 value of sample for the anti-tyrosinase capacity was calculated by GraphPad Prism software (version 5.0, Insightful Science LLC, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
