Versatile-Peroxidase (VP)

Versatile-peroxides (VP) are found in various Bjerkandera species and Pleurotus species [114]. VA can oxidize both phenolic and non-phenolic compounds of lignin as well as Mn2+ [32]. The catalytic mechanism is similar to LiP [101]. For example, VP oxidize nonphenolic model compounds such as veratrylglycerol в-guaiacyl ether and results to the formation of veratraldehyde. VP also oxidize Mn2+ to Mn3+, VA to veratraldehyde and p-dimethoxybenzene to p-benzoquinone [32].
