Cleavages of aromatic ring and β‐O‐4 bond of synthetic lignin (DHP) by lignin peroxidase

Abstract
Lignin peroxidase from a white-rot basidiomycete, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, catalyzed cleavages of the aromatic ring and the β-O-4 bond of a synthetic lignin, a dehydrogenation copolymer (DHP) of coniferyl alcohol and a (β-O-4)-(β-β) lignin substructure model trimer.
