Laccases are multicopper oxidoreductases considered by many in the biotechonology field
as the ultimate “green catalysts”. This is mainly due to their broad substrate specificity and …

Laccases (benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductases, EC 1.10. 3.2) are blue multicopper
oxidases that catalyze the oxidation of an array of aromatic substrates concomitantly with the …

Laccases of fungi attract considerable attention due to their possible involvement in the
transformation of a wide variety of phenolic compounds including the polymeric lignin and …

Lignin has a significant and largely unrealized potential as a source for the sustainable
production of fuels and bulk high-value chemicals. It can replace fossil-based oil as a …

Abstract Laccases (EC 1.10. 3.2) are most stable and powerful biocatalysts with broad
applications. It is a copper containing, organic solvents resistance, oxidoreductase enzyme …

The mechanism of operation of laccase-mediator systems (LMSs) in xenobiotic degradation
mediated by “true” redox mediators and laccase enhancing agents is considered. Structural …
