Enzymatic polymer functionalisation has entered its most fascinating period with development in this field largely at the basic research level and pilot scale applications. Development of enzymatic processes for the development of lignocellulose-based functional polymers has not been spared, ranging from textile fibres with novel properties (antimicrobials properties, hydrophobic properties, attractive shed colours, etc.) to fibreboards. Enzymatic processes are also being actively pursued aimed at developing functional polymers from lignin (a major by product of the pulp and process).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008031 Lignin The most abundant natural aromatic organic polymer found in all vascular plants. Lignin together with cellulose and hemicellulose are the major cell wall components of the fibers of all wood and grass species. Lignin is composed of coniferyl, p-coumaryl, and sinapyl alcohols in varying ratios in different plant species. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Lignins
D009195 Peroxidase A hemeprotein from leukocytes. Deficiency of this enzyme leads to a hereditary disorder coupled with disseminated moniliasis. It catalyzes the conversion of a donor and peroxide to an oxidized donor and water. EC 1.11.1.7. Myeloperoxidase,Hemi-Myeloperoxidase,Hemi Myeloperoxidase
D004789 Enzyme Activation Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme. Activation, Enzyme,Activations, Enzyme,Enzyme Activations
D004795 Enzyme Stability The extent to which an enzyme retains its structural conformation or its activity when subjected to storage, isolation, and purification or various other physical or chemical manipulations, including proteolytic enzymes and heat. Enzyme Stabilities,Stabilities, Enzyme,Stability, Enzyme
D001688 Biological Products Complex pharmaceutical substances, preparations, or matter derived from organisms usually obtained by biological methods or assay.

D013379 Substrate Specificity A characteristic feature of enzyme activity in relation to the kind of substrate on which the enzyme or catalytic molecule reacts. Specificities, Substrate,Specificity, Substrate,Substrate Specificities
D014934 Wood A product of hard secondary xylem composed of CELLULOSE, hemicellulose, and LIGNANS, that is under the bark of trees and shrubs. It is used in construction and as a source of CHARCOAL and many other products. Woods
D042845 Laccase A copper-containing oxidoreductase enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of 4-benzenediol to 4-benzosemiquinone. It also has activity towards a variety of O-quinols and P-quinols. It primarily found in FUNGI and is involved in LIGNIN degradation, pigment biosynthesis and detoxification of lignin-derived products. Laccase B,Laccase I,Laccase II,Laccase III,Urishiol Oxidase,p-Diphenol Oxidase,Oxidase, Urishiol,Oxidase, p-Diphenol,p Diphenol Oxidase
