Abstract: A crucial reaction in harnessing renewable carbon from lignin is O-demethylation. We demonstrate the selective O-demethylation of syringol and guaiacol using different cytochrome P450 enzymes. These can efficiently use hydrogen peroxide which, when compared to… read more here.

Abstract: The O-demethylation of lignin monomers, which has drawn substantial attention recently, is critical for the formation of phenols from aromatic ethers. The P450BM3 peroxygenase system was recently found to enable the O-demethylation of different aromatic… read more here.
