Oxidative N-demethylation of N,N-dimethylanilines catalysed by lignin peroxidase: a mechanistic insight by a kinetic deuterium isotope effect study

Lignin peroxidase can catalyse the N-demethylation of N,N-dimethylanilines by an electron transfer mechanism, where the deprotonation of the intermediate radical cation is also an enzymatic process.
