Dual methylation pathways in lignin biosynthesis
Caffeoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT) has been proposed to be involved in an alternative methylation pathway of lignin biosynthesis. However, no direct evidence has been available to confirm that CCoAOMT is essential for lignin biosynthesis. To understand further the methylation steps in lignin biosynthesis, we used an antisense approach to alter O-methyltransferase (OMT) gene...
متن کاملTowards New Degradable Lignin Types
Lignin is the major limiting factor in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into liquid biofuels. Over the past decade, researchers have made a number of exciting observations that have significantly extended our possibilities of engineering plant cell walls. One of these findings is that plants can tolerate large variations in the composition of the normal lignin units in the cell wall. S...
متن کاملOn the interaction of lignin peroxidase with lignin
The mechanism by which lignin peroxidase (Lip) interacts with the lignin polymer is discussed. Veratryl alcohol (Valc), a secondary metabolite of white rot fungi, acts as a cofactor for the enzyme. The Lip-redox cycle is discussed in terms of Marcus theory of electron transfer. It is proposed that reaction of a nucleophile in the active site channel with the incipient Valc'. is an essential eve...
متن کاملAffinity of Lignin Preparations towards Genotoxic Compounds
The carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of chemicals may be modulated by other chemicals, including those prepared by organic synthesis. Considering the several drawbacks of synthetic compounds vis-a-vis the human organism, the lignin biomass component was examined for this purpose. The binding affinity of lignin samples prepared by chemical and biological modification of lignin products derived f...
متن کاملProtic Ionic Liquids for Lignin Extraction—A Lignin Characterization Study
Protic ionic liquids (PILs) have been established as effective solvents for the selective extraction and recovery of lignin from lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, we utilize extensive analytical techniques to characterize the PIL-extracted lignins to (1) expand on the physical/chemical structure, and to (2) develop a better understanding of the mechanism behind the lignin dissolution proc...
