A widely distributed metalloenzyme class enables gut microbial metabolism of host- and diet-derived catechols. [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2020 Catechol dehydroxylation is a central chemical transformation in the gut microbial metabolism of plant- and host-derived small molecules. However, the molecular basis for this transformation and its distribution among gut microorganisms are poorly ...

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Tyrosinase catalyzes the oxidation of phenols and catechols (o-diphenols) to o-quinones. The reactivities of o-quinones thus generated are responsible for oxidative browning of plant products, sclerotization of insect cuticle, defense reaction in ...

The Influence of Catechols on the Magnetization of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
Nanomaterials, 2023 In this study, MNPs were functionalized with pyrocatechol (CAT), pyrogallol (GAL), caffeic acid (CAF), and nitrodopamine (NDA) at pH 8 and pH 11. The functionalization of the MNPs was successful, except in the case of NDA at pH 11.

Fully biological production of adipic acid analogs from branched catechols
Scientific Reports, 2020 Microbial production of adipic acid from lignin-derived monomers, such as catechol, is a greener alternative to the petrochemical-based process. Here, we produced adipic acid from catechol using catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (CatA) and a muconic acid ...

Copper-assisted oxidation of catechols into quinone derivatives
Chemical Science, 2020 Catechols are ubiquitous substances often acting as antioxidants, thus of importance in a variety of biological processes. The Fenton and Haber–Weiss processes are thought to transform these molecules into aggressive reactive oxygen species (ROS), a ...
