Article Synopsis
- - The laccase enzyme from fungi, combined with the mediator 1-HBT, effectively converts a lignin model compound with common linkages over 24 hours.
- - The primary reaction occurs at the β-O-4 ether linkage, yielding a known β-5 dimer intermediate that further degrades quickly.
- - Mass spectrometry indicates that the β-5 dimer and other degradation products can repolymerize to form larger oligomers, with proposed mechanisms for these catalytic processes.
