Biochem/physiol Actions

Lignin peroxidase is a fungal enzyme which has a key role in the ligninolytic cycle, the process by which the structural component of plant walls, lignin, is degraded.

Epoxide hydrolase is an enantioselective catalyst for the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of expoxides.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Unit Definition

One unit corresponds to the amount of enzyme, which oxidizes 1 μmole 3.4-dimethoxybenzyl alcohol per minute at pH 3.0 and 30 °C

The discovery of the metal salen-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening (ARO) of epoxides is chronicled. A screening approach was adopted for the identification of catalysts for the addition of TMSN(3) to meso-epoxides, and the chiral (salen)CrN(3) complex was identified as optimal. Kinetic

The surface oxidation site (Trp-171) in lignin peroxidase (LiP) required for the reaction with veratryl alcohol a high-redox-potential (1.4 V) substrate, was engineered into Coprinus cinereus peroxidase (CiP) by introducing a Trp residue into a heme peroxidase that has similar

Lignin has significant potential as an abundant and renewable source for commodity chemicals yet remains vastly underutilized. Efforts towards engineering a biochemical route to the valorization of lignin are currently limited by the lack of a suitable heterologous host for
