    Researchers Reveal Novel Mechanism of Enhanced P450 Demethylase Activity through Engineered Key Gating Residues

    A team of researchers led by Prof. CONG Zhiqi from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has transformed the NADH-dependent CYP199A4 into a peroxygenase that can directly utilize H2O2 through an innovative engineering strategy known as H2O2 tunneling. A crucial step in the degradation and utilization of lignin is the process of O-demethylation of lignin monomers, facilitated by O-demethylases. Current O-demethylases face challenges such as limited substrate specificity, unclear reaction mechani...
