Enzymes are very efficient catalysts that are essential for the functioning of living organisms.
The low efficiency of biocatalysts produced de novo relative to those that have evolved …

Enzymes continue to be the subject of intensive research efforts because of their ability to
accelerate chemical reactions by factors as large as 1020 with extraordinary selectivity. 1 …

Lignin is an abundant and recalcitrant component of plant cell walls. While lignin
degradation in nature is typically attributed to fungi, growing evidence suggests that bacteria …

There is still a growing interest in developing glucose sensors using glucose oxidase. Since
2012, over 1000 papers are published every year, while efficient commercial sensors exist …

Aryl-alcohol oxidase (AAO) is an extracellular flavoprotein providing the H 2 O 2 required by
ligninolytic peroxidases for fungal degradation of lignin, the key step for carbon recycling in …

Abstract Magnetic nanoparticles (Fe 3 O 4) were synthesized by thermal co-precipitation of
ferric and ferrous chlorides. The sizes and structure of the particles were characterized using …

The flavoenzyme Ero1p produces disulfide bonds for oxidative protein folding in the
endoplasmic reticulum. Disulfides generated de novo within Ero1p are transferred to protein …

Cholesterol is a steroid commonly found in nature with a great relevance in biology,
medicine and chemistry, playing an essential role as a structural component of animal cell …

We report the first three-dimensional structure of fungus-derived glucose dehydrogenase
using flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) as the cofactor. This is currently the most advanced …

Dioxygen (O2) and other gas molecules have a fundamental role in a variety of enzymatic
reactions. However, it is only poorly understood which O2 uptake mechanism enzymes …
