Function(s) and Biological Relevance Lignostilbene-α,ß-dioxygenase A (LsdA) from the bacterium Sphingomonas paucimobilis TMY1009 is a nonheme iron oxygenase that catalyzes the cleavage via oxygenolytic fission of lignostilbene, a compound arising in lignin transformation, to two vanillin molecules (see images below). Lignin is a common component of biomass from industry that scientists are interested in finding ways to break down to simpler and useful materials such as biofuels and commodity chemicals. Though natural occurring lignostilbenoids are rare, they are a very comm on byproduct of industry due to condensation reactions. Other lignin-based stilbenes are thought to be produces from bacterial catabolic processing of diaryl propane and phenylcoumarane <ref> LignostilbeneVanillin Energy Transformation This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
