Discovered in 1883, laccase is one of the first enzymes ever described. Now, after almost
140 years of research, it seems that this copper-containing protein with a number of unique …

Emerging pollutants in nature are linked to various acute and chronic detriments in biotic
components and subsequently deteriorate the ecosystem with serious hazards …

Lignin is a major component of soil organic matter and also a rich source of carbon dioxide
in soils. However, because of its complex structure and recalcitrant nature, lignin …

Lignocellulose is an abundant biomass that provides an alternative source for the
production of renewable fuels and chemicals. The depolymerization of the carbohydrate …

Lignin, an aromatic polymer found in plants, has been studied for years in many biological
fields. Initially, when biofuel was produced from lignocellulosic biomass, lignin was regarded …

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 …

Laccases have received much attention from researchers in last decades due to their ability
to oxidise both phenolic and non-phenolic lignin related compounds as well as highly …

Laccases (benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase; EC 1.10. 3.2), a multicopper oxidase
enzyme, widely distributed in plants, fungi and bacteria have ability to catalyze oxidation of …

Laccase belongs to the blue multicopper oxidases and participates in cross‐linking of
monomers, degradation of polymers, and ring cleavage of aromatic compounds. It is widely …

Laccases are multicopper proteins that use molecular oxygen to oxidize a broad spectrum of
organic compounds by a radical-catalyzed reaction mechanism. Many articles over the past …
