Laccase and Polyphenol Oxidase: Biochemistry and Biotechnological Applications, a new volume in the Foundations and Frontiers in Enzymology series, provides a thorough discussion of the laccase and polyphenol oxidase enzyme families, which play a key role in the oxidation of phenolic substrates and an important biological function in many organisms. In recent years, significant advances have been made in understanding these enzymes, but few practical resources exist on their fundamental biology, research methods, and applications. Step-by-step instructions and explanation offer clear guidance in replicating key research and application methodologies discussed.

In this book, world experts discuss the biochemistry of laccase and polyphenol oxidases, research methods, and uses across industries, offering a practical overview of these important enzyme classes and empowering researchers to develop their own studies and hone applications. The book deftly connects topics across these intricate enzyme systems, with early chapters on physicochemical properties of PPO and laccase, followed by separate sections on these related enzyme classes’ function in biological and industrial systems, production, purification, active assays, and application areas from food and wine to healthcare, bioremediation, and green and computational chemistry.

Arvustused

"...explores both the physiological roles and commercial application of these distinctive oxidoreductases. This book aims to provide a comprehensive discussion on PPO and laccase, focusing on their structural and biochemical characteristics, such as substrate specificity and reaction mechanisms. Additionally, it explores their potential industrial applications, including their roles in food and wine production as well as bioremediation processes. The editor characterizes this book as a 'guide to readers into these highly connected but intricate enzyme systems and topics,' indicating that its intended audience is students and scientists seeking an introduction to the field." ©Doody's Review Service, 2025, Peter Kennelly, PhD(Virginia Tech)
