Principle of the Assay: Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) can catalyze phenolic compounds into quinone substances. The latter has specific absorption at 410 nm. The activity of PPO can be calculated indirectly bymeasuring the OD value at 410 nm.
Background/Introduction: Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is one of the most widely distributed metalloproteinases in the nature. It is ubiquitous in plants, fungi, and insects. The activity of polyphenol oxidase can be detected even on the decaying plant residues of the soil. PPO catalyzes the formation of lignin and quinone compounds, which can prevent cells from being harmed by pathogens, and can also play a direct role in disease resistance by forming quinone substances. Therefore, through the research on the activity of PPO, it can more directly reflect the disease resistance of plant organism in the process of growth.

Product Notes
The PPO (Catalog #AAA2567688) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Polyphenol Oxidase (PPO), Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
