LIGNIN PEROXIDASE* Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

Ligninase can degrade lignin and lignin-like substrates that can be used in the waste treatment detoxification of environmental pollutants[1.

General Description

This product has been enhanced for energy efficiency and waste prevention when used in fuel cell and cellulosic ethanol research.

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.
