Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme is of great commercial interest because it is related to the browning of fruits. In this practical spanning two weeks, we will use classical biochemical techniques to extract a PPO enzyme from a banana or apple, perform an assay for PPO activity and protein content, and assess data to discuss reproducibility in science.
The SEB is looking for new convenors to lead our Special Interest Groups—an opportunity to expand your network, influence research discussions, and develop your leadership skills.
