More Information
Summary:The published information on the use of enzymes belonging to a large family of peroxidases of plant and fungal origin as the catalysts of lignin and its model compound oxidation by hydrogen peroxide are reviewed. The structures and the mechanism of the catalytic action of these enzymes are comparatively considered. The enzymes have similar structures; however, the enzymes of plant origin have higher stabilities and pH optima. It was concluded that further studies of the effect of the functional nature, polymolecular properties, and regularities of the redox conversions during the catalytic oxidation of plant lignins by plant peroxidases are promising.
