Oxidoreductases on their way to industrial biotransformations.
Biotechnology Advances, 2017 Fungi produce heme-containing peroxidases and peroxygenases, flavin-containing oxidases and dehydrogenases, and different copper-containing oxidoreductases involved in the biodegradation of lignin and other recalcitrant compounds. Heme peroxidases comprise the classical ligninolytic peroxidases and the new dye-decolorizing peroxidases, while heme ...

Oxidoreductases and metal cofactors in the functioning of the earth
Essays in Biochemistry, 2023 Life sustains itself using energy generated by thermodynamic disequilibria, commonly existing as redox disequilibria. Metals are significant players in controlling redox reactions, as they are essential components of the engine that life uses to tap into

Immobilization as a Strategy for Improving Enzyme Properties-Application to Oxidoreductases
Molecules, 2014 The main objective of the immobilization of enzymes is to enhance the economics of biocatalytic processes. Immobilization allows one to re-use the enzyme for an extended period of time and enables easier separation of the catalyst from the product ...
