Description
The transformation of industrial dyes by manganese peroxidases from Bjerkandera adusta is a manganese-independent reaction.
Abbr
Peroxidase, Native (Bjerkandera adusta)
Source
Bjerkandera adusta
Applications
Peroxidase is isolated from Bjerkandera adusta. Peroxidases from B. adusta, a white rot fungus, is used to degrade synthetic dyes. Peroxidase is used in bi ochemistry applications such as western blots, ELISA and Immunohist ochemistry. Peroxidases are used to amplify a weak signal and increase detectability of a target molecule, such as a protein2. Peroxidase is commonly used to determine amounts of glucose and peroxides in solution.
