Classification of polyphenol oxidases shows ancient gene duplication leading to two distinct enzyme types

Summary: Polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) are coupled binuclear copper proteins that catalyze the oxidation of phenols. New functions of PPOs are continuously being discovered, latest with several fungal o-methoxy phenolases, which are active on lignin-derived compounds. Here, we perform a comprehensive p...
