In vitro degradation of a polymeric dye (Poly R-478) by manganese peroxidase.
The aim of this study is the evaluation of the enzymatic action of the ligninolytic enzyme manganese peroxidase (MnP), through a suitable addition of H(2)O(2), as a feasible system for the in vitro degradation of complex structures. For this purpose, a highly recalcitrant polymeric dye (Poly R-478) was selected as a model compound. An amperometric technique was used to determine the H(2)O(2) re...
متن کاملOxidation of methoxybenzenes by manganese peroxidase and by Mn3+.
Manganese peroxidase, produced by some white-rot fungi during lignin degradation, catalyzes the oxidation of Mn2+ to Mn3+. Whereas Mn3+ is known to oxidize phenolic compounds, its role in lignin degradation is not clear. We have used a series of methoxybenzenes with E1/2 values of 1.76-0.81 V (vs saturated calomel electrode) to investigate the oxidizing ability of Mn3+ chelates generated chemic...
متن کاملPhotophysical Processes of Ethidium Bromide in Micelles and Reverse Micelles
Photophysical processes of ethidium bromide (EB) in homogeneous solutions, micelles, and reverse micelles have been investigated. In acetonitrile, the fluorescence intensity and lifetime of EB are 6.3 ( 0.3 times those in water and 1.25 ( 0.1 times those in acetone. This is attributed to the weaker hydrogen-bond acceptor property of acetonitrile, compared to water and acetone. Addition of water...
متن کاملEnzyme reactions in reverse micelles
Enzyme reactions are important not only in life processes but also for the commercial production of various chemicals and foods. Many enzyme reactions of practical interest involve water-insoluble substrates and/or products. To improve the efficiencies of such reactions, one can exploit the system of reverse micelles to immobilize the enzymes and serve as a microheterogeneous reaction medium. E...
متن کاملBiocatalytic degradation of pollutants.
Microbial reactions play key roles in biocatalysis and biodegradation. The recent genome sequencing of environmentally relevant bacteria has revealed previously unsuspected metabolic potential that could be exploited for useful purposes. For example, oxygenases and other biodegradative enzymes are benign catalysts that can be used for the production of industrially useful compounds. In conjunct...
