Goals To determine the potential use of laccase in chemical synthesis To develop green chemistry synthesis Green reagent: enzyme (laccase) Green solvent: water The Synthesis of Naphthoquinones One-pot synthesis of 1,4-naphthoquinones and related structures with laccase Published in Green Chemistry, 2007, 9, 475- 480. Enzyme Assay Enzyme assay Laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) from Trametes villosa was donated by Novo Nordisk Biochem, North Carolina. Laccase activity was determined by oxidation of 2,2’-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzyl thiozoline-6- sulphonate) (ABTS). The oxidation of ABTS is followed by an absorbance increase at 420 nm. Enzyme activity is expressed in units (U = mmol of ABTS oxidized per minute). Bourbonnais, R.; Leech, D.; Paice, G. M. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1998, 1379, 381.
