Enzyme | Substrate | Reaction | Applications |
---|---|---|---|
Laccase | Ortho and paradiphenols, aminophenols, polyphenols, polyamines, lignins, and aryldiamines | Oxidation, decarboxylation and demethylation of the substrate. | Paper and pulp industry, Food industry, textile industry, nanotechnology, synthetic chemistry, bioremediation, cosmetics, and so forth. |
Lignin peroxidase | Halogenated phenolic compounds, polycyclic aromatic compounds and other aromatic compounds |
Oxidation of substrate in the presence of cosubstrate H2O2 and mediator like veratryl alcohol. |
Paper and pulp industry, Food industry, textile industry, pharmaceutical industry, bioremediation, and so forth. |
Manganese peroxidase | Lignin and other phenolic compounds | In the presence of Mn2+ and H2O2 the co-substrate catalyzes oxidation of Mn2+ toMn3+ which results in anMn3+ chelate oxalate, which in turn oxidizes the phenolic substrates. | Paper and pulp industry, Food industry, textile industry, pharmaceutical industry, bioremediation, and so forth. |
Versatile peroxidase | Methoxy benzenes and phenolic aromatic | The enzyme catalyzes the electron transfer from an oxidizable substrate, with the formation and reduction of compound I and compound II intermediates. |
Industrial biocatalyst, Bioremediation and so forth. |
Cellulase | Cellulosic substance | Hydrolyzes the substrate to simple carbohydrates. | Paper and pulp industry, Textile manufacturing, detergent production, bioremediation, and so forth. |
