Oxidation chemistry using enzymes is approaching maturity and practical applicability in
organic synthesis. Oxidoreductases (enzymes catalysing redox reactions) enable chemists to …

Peroxygenases offer an attractive means to address challenges in selective oxyfunctionalization
chemistry. Despite this, their application in synthetic chemistry remains challenging due …

Fungi produce heme-containing peroxidases and peroxygenases, flavin-containing oxidases
and dehydrogenases, and different copper-containing oxidoreductases involved in the …

Peroxygenases catalyze a broad range of (stereo)selective oxyfunctionalization reactions.
However, to access their full catalytic potential, peroxygenases need a balanced provision of …

Background The genome of Pleurotus ostreatus, an important edible mushroom and a model
ligninolytic organism of interest in lignocellulose biorefineries due to its ability to delignify …

Efficient lignin depolymerization is unique to the wood decay basidiomycetes, collectively
referred to as white rot fungi. Phanerochaete chrysosporium simultaneously degrades lignin …

Selective oxyfunctionalizations of inert C−H bonds can be achieved under mild conditions
by using peroxygenases. This approach, however, suffers from the poor robustness of these …

Background Pleurotus ostreatus is the second edible mushroom worldwide, and a model
fungus for delignification applications, with the advantage of growing on woody and nonwoody …

The white-rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora delignifies lignocellulose with high
selectivity, but until now it has appeared to lack the specialized peroxidases, termed lignin …

Pleurotus ostreatus is an important edible mushroom and a model lignin degrading organism,
whose genome contains nine genes of ligninolytic peroxidases, characteristic of white-rot …
