Evaluating Lignins as Enzyme Substrates: Insights and Methodological Recommendations from a Study of Laccase-Catalyzed Lignin Polymerization

Lignin preparations from kraft and sulfite pulping, steam explosion, and enzyme saccharification processes were assessed as substrates for lignin polymerization catalyzed by Trametes hirsuta laccase (ThL). Oxygen consumption associated with laccase catalyzed oxidation of the selected lignins was mea...
