Recent Topics of Laccase Focused on Chemical Reactions and Applications

Abstract

Green chemistry elements should deal with enzymatic chemical reactions that are efficient or have a low environmental impact. Laccase is a readily available multicopper oxidase that has been extensively studied for a long time. In reviewing recent trends in laccase research, the authors selected themes that have not yet been evaluated, targeting open-access journals. From a chemical viewpoint, decomposition reactions (such as oxidation of substrates, toxic substances, pigments, and biomass materials), organic synthesis reactions, composite catalytic activities of oxygen reduction reactions, biosensors, batteries, biological fields, fermentation, culture, gene association, and antifungal activity.
