Abstract
The first definite evidence for the existence of an enzyme which catalyzes the biological oxidation of phenols was presented was presented in 1896 by Bourquelot and Bertrand. By 1902 the latter had characterized the enzyme as acting directly on the amino acid tyrosine, and had demonstrated its action against other substances, including p-hydroxyphenylethylamine, p-cresol, and phenol.
