Abstract

Laccases, one of the expressively accepted biocatalysts, are oxidoreductases strongly known for their pronounced catalytic applications. Their involvement in the various types’ organic synthesis is one of the most attractive fields of bio-catalysis. In this editorial, authors have briefly assessed and explored the synthetic applicability and potential fate of this interesting oxidoreductase enzyme in organic synthesis and presented various scientific proofs based on researches done in related fields proving their versatile acceptability.

Keywords: Laccases, biocatalysts, redox mediators, mechanism, oxidation, organic synthesis.
