LsdA has greatest substrate specificity for lignostilbene. The substrate's 4-hydryoxy moiety is required for catalysis. Phenylazophenol inhibits the cleavage of lignostilbene by LsdA. The breaking down of lignin is essential to the sustainable biorefining of lignocellulose. It is of great relevance to transforming lignocellulose to biofuels.<ref> PMID:31292192 </ref> | ||
