Abstract
A soluble and two different particulate forms of o-diphenol oxidase have been obtained from aged or fresh potato slices by differential and density gradient centrifugation. The particulate enzymes were shown to sediment with microsomes and peroxisomes, respectively. Over half the enzyme activity of aged slices was found to be particle bound, with approximately twice as much enzyme in the microsomes as in the peroxisomal fraction. Very similar distribution patterns have been obtained with fresh potatoes, which have an o-diphenol oxidase activity approximately one-third that of aged slices.
