Dyes are being increasingly utilized across the globe, but there is no appropriate method of bioremediation for their full mineralization from the environment. Laccases are key enzymes that help microbes to degrade dyes as well as their intermediate metabolites. Various dyes have been reported to be degraded by bacteria, but it is still unclear how these enzymes function during dye degradation. To effectively eradicate toxic dyes from the system, it is essential to understand the molecular function of enzymes. As a result, the interaction of laccase with different toxic dyes was investigated using molecular docking. Based on the highest binding energy we have screened ten dyes with positive interaction with laccase. Evaluating the MD simulation results, three out of ten dyes were more stable as potential targets for degradation by laccase of Bacillus subtilis. As a result, subsequent research focused solely on the …
