What is it about?
Recent advances on fungal oxidoreductases for a bio-based economy are reviewed. These include computer-aided rational design and directed evolution of biocatalysts. Classical oxidoreductases consist of peroxidases/oxidases involved in lignin decay. Oxidative flavoenzymes are emerging biocatalysts. Peroxygenases and polysaccharide monooxygenases were more recently discovered. Reviewed transformations consider both oxyfunctionalization and oxidation reactions.
