Topics Webinar | Recent Advances in Oxidoreductases Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 28 May 2024


Welcome message by webinar chair, Prof. Grzegorz Janusz:

Dear colleagues,

Thank you for your participation in this webinar which will allow us to promote our conference, Oxizymes in Lublin, Poland, 2024, which is related to the MDPI Topic “Recent Advances in Oxidoreductases Biochemistry and Biotechnology”.

Oxidoreductases comprise a large number of enzymes of industrial relevance: peroxidases, peroxygenases, laccases, flavin–containing oxidases, and dehydrogenases, unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs), dye–decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs), copper–containing lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LP.M.Os), etc.

This conference and MDPI Topic aim to cover all aspects of this field, from the discovery of novel oxidoreductases, their mechanisms of action, and their structure–activity relationships to their applications in the production of fine chemicals and polymer building blocks, biosensors, and biomaterials, and their use in biorefineries for a bio–based economy.

Today, I a.m. pleased to introduce three of my colleagues who are involved in this webinar: Prof. Magdalena Jaszek, whose major research area is bioactive compounds, oxidoreductases, and proteases; next, Prof. Clemens Peterbauer, whose main research area is the expression and engineering of microbial enzymes for biomass degradation and biocatalysis; and finally, Dr. Katarzyna Szałapata, whose research interests focus on the bioactive aspects of polymer biomaterials.

Date: 28 May 2024
Time: 9:00 a.m. CEST | 3:00 a.m. EDT | 3:00 p.m. CST Asia
