Abstract:Oxidoreductases are a special class of enzymes that use the redox mechanism for the efficient transformation of organic substrates. Most oxidoreductases contain metals in the active site and, for optimal functioning, require the participation of a small co-substrate with the ability to donate electrons. From the multitude of enzymes with economic and applicable potential, the authors focused their attention on three particular classes: catalases, peroxidases, and laccases. Catalases and peroxidases contain hem… Show more
