The S-lignin O-demethylase SyoA: Structural insights into a new class of heme peroxygenase enzymes

A. C. Harlington, T. Das, K. E. Shearwin, S. G. Bell, F. Whelan

This paper characterizes the structure and function of SyoA, a heme peroxygenase enzyme that demethylates S-lignin aromatics via the peroxide shunt pathway, revealing key residues critical for its activity.
