Abstract
Ligninase isolated from Phanerochaete chrysosporium catalyzes cleavage of beta -1 and beta -0-4 lignin models between C// alpha and C// beta of their propyl side chains, and it also catalyzes a number of other oxidations in various lignin-related compounds. Some of the reactions, including C// alpha -C// beta cleavage, consume both H//2O//2 and O//2, whereas others consume only H//2O//2. Based on studies of the mechanism of oxidation of several substrates, a unified scheme for ligninase action on lignin-related compounds is proposed.
