At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we believe that understanding the science behind our products empowers our clients. Laccase (CAS 80498-15-3), a fascinating enzyme, has a rich biological background and a complex yet elegant mechanism of action that makes it so valuable across diverse industries.

Laccase, belonging to the family of blue multicopper oxidases, is widely distributed in nature, predominantly found in fungi, particularly white-rot fungi, but also present in plants, insects, and bacteria. Its discovery dates back to the late 19th century, initially isolated from sumac liquid. The production of Laccase typically involves microbial fermentation, where specific strains are cultivated under optimized conditions to maximize enzyme yield and activity. This biotechnological approach ensures a sustainable and scalable supply of high-quality Laccase.

The mechanism of action of Laccase is centered around its catalytic core, which contains four copper atoms arranged in distinct sites. This intricate structure facilitates the enzyme's ability to catalyze the one-electron oxidation of a broad spectrum of substrates, including phenolic compounds, aromatic amines, and even certain inorganic compounds. The overall reaction involves the reduction of molecular oxygen to water, making it an exceptionally clean process with minimal byproducts. This fundamental process underpins many of its applications, from 'biocatalyst for lignin degradation' to roles in 'laccase in food processing'.

The versatility of Laccase is further enhanced by its ability to interact with mediators – small molecules that can extend the enzyme's substrate range to non-phenolic compounds. This enzymatic activity, coupled with advancements in enzyme immobilization techniques, allows Laccase to be effectively integrated into various industrial processes, from textile dyeing to environmental remediation. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides Laccase that is a product of rigorous scientific understanding and precise biotechnological production.
