Lignostilbene-α,β-dioxygenase A (LsdA) from the bacterium ''Sphingomonas paucimobilis'' TMY1009 is a nonheme iron oxygenase that catalyzes the cleavage of lignostilbene, a compound arising in lignin transformation, to two vanillin molecules. LsdA has greatest substrate specificity for lignostilbene. The substrate's 4-hudryoxy moiety is required for catalysis. Phenylazophenol inhibits the cleavage of lignostilbene by LsdA. | Lignostilbene-α,β-dioxygenase A (LsdA) from the bacterium ''Sphingomonas paucimobilis'' TMY1009 is a nonheme iron oxygenase that catalyzes the cleavage of lignostilbene, a compound arising in lignin transformation, to two vanillin molecules.

The breaking down of lignin is essential to the sustainable biorefining of lignocellulose. It is of great relevance to transforming lignocellulose to biofuels. | ||
