The interactions between two oxidoreductases coupled by an artificial redox mediator have been described quantitatively to increase both stability and productivity. In this cascade oxidation, pyranose 2-oxidase oxidizes several aldoses at the C-2 position to 2-ketoaldoses. A redox mediator is used as electron acceptor for pyranose 2-oxidase because it shows more favourable kinetics in comparison to oxygen. The reduced redox mediator is in turn re-oxidized by laccase, which uses oxygen as the terminal electron acceptor, reducing it fully to water. However, pyranose 2-oxidase is capable of using oxygen as an electron acceptor in a competing side reaction, leading to the formation of hydrogen peroxide, which is detrimental for both enzymes and seriously limits the operational stability of both enzymes. The experimental results showed full conversion of the aldose to the 2-ketoaldose and a good agreement with the simulations of the process.

Enzymatic electrophilic halogenation is a mild tool for functionalization of diverse organic compounds. Only a few groups of native halogenases are capable of catalyzing such a reaction. In this study, we used a mechanism-guided strategy to discover the electrophilic halogenation activity catalyzed by non-native halogenases.

Lignin degradation in fungal systems is well characterized. Recently, a potential for lignin depolymerization and modification employing similar enzymatic activities by bacteria is increasingly recognized. The presence of genes annotated as peroxidases in Actinobacteria genomes suggests that these bacteria should contain auxiliary enzymes such as flavin-dependent carbohydrate oxidoreductases.

Pyranose 2-oxidases catalyze the oxidation of various pyranose sugars at the C2 position. However, their potential application for detecting sugars other than glucose in blood is hindered by relatively high activity towards glucose. In this study, in order to find a mutant enzyme with enhanced specificity for 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (1,5-AG), which is a biomarker for diabetes mellitus, we conducted site-directed mutagenesis of pyranose 2-oxidase from the basidiomycete ( POX).

The results of structural studies on a series of halogen-substituted derivatives of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) are reported. 2-DG is an inhibitor of glycolysis, a metabolic pathway crucial for cancer cell proliferation and viral replication in host cells, and interferes with D-glucose and D-mannose metabolism. Thus, 2-DG and its derivatives are considered as potential anticancer and antiviral drugs.
