Method for preparing a phenolic resin using soybean peroxidase

摘要

Biocatalytic oxidative processes are described whrein oxidizable substrates are reacted with peroxides in rthe presence of a peroxidase such as soybean peroxidase, another legume peroxidase or peroxidase derived from rice or a malvaceous plant such as cotton. Oxidative coupling reactions for producing phenolic resins using such peroxidases are also described. A method for the purification of peroxidase enzyme-containing extracts, generally, is also described.
