Polyphenol Oxidase Products Are Priming Agents for LPMO Peroxygenase Activity
Priming versus fueling. It is demonstrated here that the catalytic products of a polyphenol oxidase acting on guaiacol can prime the peroxygenase activity of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase (LPMO) towards cellulose in H2O2‐driven reactions but do not provide sufficient reducing power to fuel LPMO activity under O2‐driven reactions.

Dinuclear copper(I) complexes supported by bis‐tridentate N‐donor ligands with two imine functions mediate the conversion of a monophenol to its corresponding o‐quinone, in contrast to analogous complexes supported by ligands with amine functions. Abstract Four structurally related bis‐tridentate N‐donor ligands with either two secondary amine or two ...

Homoleptische CuI‐Komplexe mit verschiedenen Liganden (CH3CN, oDFB, NEt3) und Gegenionen mit unterschiedlicher Koordinationsfähigkeit (BF4−, OTf−, PF6−, Al(OC(CF3)3)4−) katalysieren die Umwandlung von Monophenolen in o‐Chinone. Detaillierte mechanistische Untersuchungen zeigen, dass diese Reaktion, im Gegensatz zum dinuklearen Mechanismus des Enzyms ...

Copper‐Catalyzed Monooxygenation of Phenols: Evidence for a Mononuclear Reaction Mechanism
Homoleptic CuI complexes with different ligands (CH3CN, oDFB, NEt3) and counterions of varying coordination ability (BF4−, OTf−, PF6−, Al(OC(CF3)3)4−) catalyze the conversion of monophenols to o‐quinones. Detailed mechanistic research shows that this reaction follows a mononuclear pathway, in contrast to the dinuclear mechanism of the enzyme tyrosinase.

Bacterial pigments: A colorful palette reservoir for biotechnological applications
Abstract Synthetic derivatives are currently used instead of pigments in many applicative fields, from food to feed, from pharmaceutical to diagnostic, from agronomy to industry. Progress in organic chemistry allowed to obtain rather cheap compounds covering the whole color spectrum. However, several concerns arise from this chemical approach, as it is

Abstract As one of the important species belonging to the Bletilla genus of Orchidaceae, Bletilla striata (Thunb.) Rchb. f., possesses both ornamental and medicinal values. Its dried tubers are used as a traditional Chinese medicine, and several secondary metabolites have been indicated to be the active ingredients.

The ability to perform regiospecific hydroxylations of sterically challenging monophenols was engineered into a flavin‐dependent monooxygenase. Its variants are valuable tools for production of the corresponding catechols for in vitro or live whole‐cell conversions.

Anthropogenic and natural barriers affect genetic connectivity in an Alpine butterfly
Abstract Dispersal is a key biological process serving several functions including connectivity among populations. Habitat fragmentation caused by natural or anthropogenic structures may hamper dispersal, thereby disrupting genetic connectivity. Investigating factors affecting dispersal and gene flow is important in the current era of anthropogenic ...

Polyphenol Oxidase Activity on Guaiacyl and Syringyl Lignin Units
The conversion of lignin‐derived guaiacyl (G) and syringyl (S) compounds into methoxy‐ortho‐diphenols through oxidative ortho‐hydroxylation and ortho‐demethoxylation reactions catalyzed by novel fungal polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) is presented. The formation of o‐diphenols rather than reactive quinones can be steered by the addition of a reductant. These
