Abstract
It has been established that in relation to the increase in the maximum initial rate of oxidation of model compounds and of lignin by a peroxidase-H2O2 complex, the substances studied form the following sequence: guaiacol,α-guaiacylpropanol, ferulic acid,α-guaiacylpropanone, andα-lignin. On the basis of the results of the investigation it is suggested that the oxidation of lignin is carried out by a peroxidase-O2 complex. With a rise in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide the oxidation of model compounds is inhibited.
