[QUOTE="jb1000br, post: 76070, member: 1459"] 4ked -- i guess i could have left the quotes out...wasnt a word usage issue. Enzymes are globs of protein with associated metals as cofactors. They dont excrete, secrete or otherwise. I dont see how the enzyme can "attack" the copper...so im not really sure what is going on here. Maybe copper is a required cofactor that makes the enzyme work...but what it is "working on" i dont know. Another thing that makes me nervous: This is obviously a buffered solution...BUFFER = SALT [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] My GUESS is one of these enzymes may be relavent: [url="http://www.expasy.org/cgi-bin/enzyme-search-cf?Copper"]http://www.expasy.org/cgi-bin/enzyme-search-cf?Copper[/url] Basic Enzyme info: [url="http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/E/EnzymeKinetics.html"]http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/E/EnzymeKinetics.html[/url] [url="http://www.science-projects.com/Tyrosinase.htm"]http://www.science-projects.com/Tyrosinase.htm[/url] [DISCLAIMER] I have never used Coppermelt.
