A crucial reaction in harnessing renewable carbon from lignin is -demethylation. We demonstrate the selective -demethylation of syringol and guaiacol using different cytochrome P450 enzymes. These can efficiently use hydrogen peroxide which, when compared to nicotinamide cofactor-dependent monooxygenases and synthetic methods, allows for cheap and clean -demethylation of lignin-derived aromatics.
从木质素中获取可再生碳的关键反应是脱甲基化。我们利用不同的细胞色素 P450 酶对丁香酚和愈创木酚进行了选择性脱甲基化。这些酶可以有效地利用过氧化氢,与依赖烟酰胺辅酶的单加氧酶和合成方法相比,过氧化氢可以实现廉价、清洁的木质素衍生芳烃的脱甲基化。
