Due to concerns over climate change and the depletion of fossil fuels, recent studies have
focused on biorefineries utilizing lignocellulosic biomass as a renewable feedstock for …

Four heme peroxidase superfamilies (peroxidase–catalase, peroxidase–cyclooxygenase,
peroxidase–chlorite dismutase and peroxidase–peroxygenase superfamily) arose …

DyP peroxidases comprise a novel superfamily of heme-containing peroxidases, which is
unrelated to the superfamilies of plant and animal peroxidases. These enzymes have so far …

Lignin is the second abundant biomass (10–35%) which is associated with cellulose and
hemicellulose in plant cellwall. It has complex aromatic structure and high molecular weight …

In this review, we chart the major milestones in the research progress on the DyP-type
peroxidase family over the past decade. Though mainly distributed among bacteria and …

The dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) belong to a unique heme peroxidase family for
their biotechnological potential to detoxify synthetic dyes. In this work, we have …

Plant biomass represents a renewable feedstock that has not yet been fully tapped because
of the difficulty in accessing the carbon in its structural biopolymers. Lignin is an especially …

With the intensive development of lignocellulosic biorefineries to produce fuels and
chemicals from biomass-derived carbohydrates, lignin was generated at a large quantity …

This work provides spectroscopic, catalytic, and stability fingerprints of two new bacterial dye-
decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) from Bacillus subtilis (BsDyP) and Pseudomonas putida …
