Interaction and Kinetics of Oxidative Biomass Degrading Enzymes Resolved by High-Resolution Techniques

Current processes for lignocellulose deconstruction are unspecific and produce some constituents in poor quality. Specific biocatalysts could achieve optimal segregation together with minimal damage to cellulose and lignin and provide high-quality feedstocks for industry. Naturally occurring fungal oxidoreductases perform this task, but their characterisation – and hence their optimisation for industrial application – is difficult because of the experimental challenges. The mission of OXIDISE to develop appropriate methods to characterise lignocellulose degrading oxidoreductases, i.e. elucidate their conversions rates and to resolve their distribution and interaction in vicinity of their…
