The Mechanism of Inhibition of Pig‐Plasma Benzylamine Oxidase by the Copper‐Chelating Reagent Cuprizone

Treatment of pig‐plasma benzylamine oxidase with the copper‐chelating reagent cuprizone leads to the reversible formation of an enzyme · cuprizone complex with a dissociation constant of about 3 mM, followed by an irreversible conversion of this complex into an enzyme species exhibiting a new abs…
