Ex planta phytoremediation of trichlorophenol and phenolic allelochemicals via an engineered secretory laccase
Article Abstract:
The roots of the plants release enzymes which may damage the chemical compounds in their immediate vicinity, hence a method called phytoremediation ex planta is identified but it depends on the excessive appearance of one of these enzymes called secretory laccase. Laccases catalyze the oxidation of a series of phenolic compounds that comprise of polychlorinated phenols like 2, 4, 6-trichlorophenol (TCP) that pollute the environment.

Enzyme reduces cancer risk of fries
Article Abstract:
An enzyme, Acrylaway, that reduces the levels of the carcinogen acrylamide, a potential human carcinogen and genotoxicant found in some fried or baked foods, is developed. The enzyme reduces arcylamide in foods without changing appearance or taste.
