Three-dimensional plots of molecular docking diagrams of l-tyrosine and cyclo(l-Pro-l-Tyr) complexes with tyrosinase

Caption

Using docking simulations, recent study found that cyclo(L-Pro-L-Tyr) binds to the substrate-binding site of mushroom tyrosinase, obstructing the substrate pocket and preventing its activity.
