A Potential Antitumor Drug (Arginine Deiminase) Reengineered for Efficient Operation under Physiological Conditions
Arginine deiminase (ADI, EC 3.5.3.6) is a potential antitumor drug for the treatment of arginine‐auxotrophic tumors such as hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) and melanomas, and studies on human… Expand

Directed laccase evolution for improved ionic liquid resistance
In nature, the biodegradation of lignin is a challenging process since lignin is highly cross-linked and poorly water-soluble. Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2, benzenediol: oxygen oxidoreductase) play a key… Expand
