Quercetin is a substrate not an inhibitor of tyrosinase - comments on "Quercetin as a tyrosinase inhibitor: Inhibitory activity, conformational change and mechanism" published by Fan et al. (2017)
Abstract
Quercetin was described as an inhibitor of tyrosinase in an article published in Food Research International. However, it was firmly established in the literature before that this compound was a substrate of this enzyme and an antioxidant reducing tyrosinase-generated o-quinones.
