Laccases are multicopper proteins that use molecular oxygen to oxidize a broad spectrum of
organic compounds by a radical-catalyzed reaction mechanism. Many articles over the past …

The production of melanin is a complex process involving biochemical cascades, such as
the pro-phenoloxidase (proPO) system, and enzymes, such as phenoloxidases (POs) …

Plant and fungal laccases belong to the family of multi‐copper oxidases and show much
broader substrate specificity than other members of the family. Laccases have consequently …

Plants deposit lignin in the secondary cell wall as a common response to drought and
pathogen attacks. Cell wall localised multicopper oxidase family enzymes LACCASES …

Seventeen non-allelic laccase genes and one gene footprint are present in the genome of
Coprinopsis cinerea. Two gene subfamilies were defined by intron positions and similarity of …

The lack of monocot laccase sequence data has been held as an argument against
laccases playing a role in lignin polymerization. This overview focuses on plant laccase …

The melanin-synthesis pathways, phenoloxidase (PO) and laccases, are staple components
of invertebrate immunity and have been shown to be vital in disease resistance. The …

A multivariate approach has been used to study progression in the post-capture condition of
trawl-caught Nephrops norvegicus destined for the live transport market. A range of …

Laccase production by the white‐rot fungus Trametes gallica was studied, using twelve
different media under static or shaking condition. The results indicated that organic nitrogen …

Background Biomphalaria snails are the intermediate host of the blood fluke Schistosoma
mansoni, which infect more than 67 million people in tropical areas. Phenoloxidase …
