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 …

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 …

With the expanding population, the environment is changing greatly, and agriculture is one
of the most exposed sectors to these changes and faces a number of challenges like …

White biotechnology, or industrial biotechnology, is drawing much attention as a solution to
produce energy, chemicals and other materials from renewable resources. White …

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 …

Different regions of an insect cuticle have different mechanical properties, partly due to
different degrees of stabilization and hardening occurring during the process of …

Insect life on earth is greatly diversified despite being exposed to several infectious agents
due to their diverse habitats and ecological niche. One of the major factors responsible for …

A reliance on fossil fuel has led to the increased emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs). The
excessive consumption of raw materials today makes the search for sustainable resources …

Multicopper oxidases (MCOs) are a pervasive family of enzymes that oxidize a wide range of
phenolic and nonphenolic aromatic substrates, concomitantly with the reduction of dioxygen …

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 …
