Tyrosinase is a copper-containing oxidase, which has activity for both catechols and cresol. It is responsible for browning reactions. The enzyme is reported to have two binding sites for aromatic substrates and a different binding site for oxygen-copper. The copper is probably Cu（I）, with inactivation involving oxidation to Cu（II） ion.
