A type 3 copper protein that catalyses exclusively the oxidation of catechol (i.e., o-diphenol) to the corresponding o-quinone. The enzyme also acts on a variety of substituted catechols.
It is different from tyrosinase, EC 1.14.18.1, which can catalyse both the monooxygenation of monophenols and the oxidation of catechols.

mechanism, the rate-determining step is found to change with the substrate to complex ratio, I2+ reacts with DTBCH2, while undergoing a one-electron reduction, leading to the formation of mixed-valence CuIICuIsemiquinone species DTSQ
reduction of dioxygen to dihydrogen peroxide upon catechol oxidation by copper(II) complexes, overview, dioxygen undergoes a two-electron reduction to dihydrogen peroxide, and a second mechanism in which it is converted into water upon four-electron reduction, catecholase activity of a tetranuclear carbonato-bridged copper(II) cluster with the macrocyclic ligand 9,22-dipropyl-1,4,9,14,17,22,27,28,29,30-decaazapentacyclotriacontane-5,7(28),11(29),12,18,20(30),24(27),25-octaene, ferromagnetic interaction between the two copper ions within one macrocyclic ring, and a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the two neighboring copper ions of two different macrocyclic units, solution stability, electrochemical properties, and crystal structure of (I)2(CF3SO3)4 - 2CH3CN- 4H2O, detailed overview, mechanisms versus a coordination mode of the substrate
binuclear copper center each coordinated by three histidine nitrogen atoms, in the oxidized enzyme structure the 2 copper II centers contain a hydroxide bridging group completing the four-coordinated trigonal pyramidal coordination sphere, in the reduced form the CuI-CuI separation increases to 4.4 A and a water molecule coordinates to one copper
