Chimeric enzymes for conversion of lignin-derived chemicals

Disclosed herein are enzymes useful for the dealkylation of aromatic substrates, including the conversion of guaiacol or guaethol to catechol. Methods of converting aromatic substrates found in lignin-based feedstocks such as pyrolysis oil into products such as catechol are also disclosed. Also pres...

Zusammenfassung:Disclosed herein are enzymes useful for the dealkylation of aromatic substrates, including the conversion of guaiacol or guaethol to catechol. Methods of converting aromatic substrates found in lignin-based feedstocks such as pyrolysis oil into products such as catechol are also disclosed. Also presented herein are methods for rapidly evolving and optimizing genetic regions.
