Novel catalytic activities of oxidoreductases for oxidation and/or bleaching

Abstract From the Canadian patent

An oxidation and/or bleaching system is disclosed comprising: a) , oxidoreductases such as laccases and/or peroxidases applied individually or in combination, in the presence of the corresponding co-substrate 0<sb>2</sb> H<sb>2</sb>0<sb>2</sb>, organic peroxides per-acids etc. for the activation , of compounds of the class of oxohydrocarbons the class of urazoles and , hydrazides the class of hydantoins and the class of nitriles (cyano) compounds and b) additional carbonyl compounds (ketones aldehydes) are , applied which can form active oxygen species such as dioxiranes, dioxetanes , and peroxy compounds amongst others, or other reactive compounds or , transition states such as radicals …
