Figure 1From: New colorimetric screening assays for the directed evolution of fungal laccases to improve the conversion of plant biomassOxidation spectra of S-type phenolic compounds. Changes in the absorption UV-Vis spectra of sinapic acid (A), acetosyringone (B) and syringaldehyde (C) during oxidation by M. thermophila laccase (50 mU) at 0, 1, 2, 5, and 10–60 min (in 10 min intervals) reaction times. Insets show the visible initial spectra (dashed lines) and after 10h (continuous lines).Back to article page
