PEGylation greatly enhances laccase polymerase activity

Laccase catalyzes the oxidation and polymerization of phenolic compounds in the presence of oxygen. Herein, we report for the first time that a previous pegylation of laccase enhances the polymerase activity by 3-fold comparing with the native enzyme, as confirmed by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The polymer...
