TY - JOUR AU - Reiss, Renate AU - Ihssen, Julian AU - Thöny-Meyer, Linda PY - 2011 DA - 2011/01/25 TI - Bacillus pumiluslaccase: a heat stable enzyme with a wide substrate spectrum JO - BMC Biotechnology SP - 9 VL - 11 IS - 1 AB - Laccases are multi-copper oxidases that catalyze the one electron oxidation of a broad range of compounds. Laccase substrates include substituted phenols, arylamines and aromatic thiols. Such compounds are activated by the enzyme to the corresponding radicals. Owing to their broad substrate range laccases are considered to be versatile biocatalysts which are capable of oxidizing natural and non-natural industrial compounds, with water as sole by-product.
