Abstract :In this study, it was aimed to obtain copper oxide nanoparticles insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CuO NPs); with the method of green synthesis by using peroxidase enzymes which were partly purified from fig insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Ficus carica );. Copper insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(II); oxide nanoparticles are successfully synthesized with the green synthesis method on the experiments we performed.  UV-VIS spectroscopy of the characterization of acquired CuO NPs were performed with Scanning Electron Microscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SEM); and X-ray Diffraction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(XRD);. Optimum activation temperature for green synthesis was observed to be in 30 min, pH:8, at 25 o C and in the concentration of 1mM CuCl 2 . By using peroxidase enzymes with green synthesis, it was found out the results of SEM and XRD measurements that acquired CuO NPs were in the size of 50-120 nm. Afterwards, the antioxidant and antibacterial activities of these nanoparticles were measured and it was understood from the obtained results that CuO NPs had both antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.
