The Laccase from Micromonospora sp.044 30-1 as a biocatalyst for synthesis of antioxidant compounds

Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2) are blue multicopper oxidases that catalyse a single electron oxidation of various phenolic substrates with an associated four-electron reduction of dioxygen to water. The varied uses of laccase as a biocatalyst can be attributed to its ability to produce a free radical from a...
