Fungal cleaning enzymes



Prof. Dr. Dietmar A. Plattner, Dr. Klaus Piontek, and Eric Strittmatter from the Institute of Organic Chemistry of the University of Freiburg and their colleagues from research groups at the International Graduate School of Zittau of the University of Dresden have determined the three-dimensional atomic structure of fungal enzyme of this kind, a dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP).

For further details see:
