FUTONG CUI is an academic who published a paper in 1990 entitled Biomimetic studies related to lignin degradation. FUTONG CUI published this work as part of a team: Cui, Futong. Here is a description of this work: Lig,,in is the second most abundant biopolymer on Earth. It is an amorphous, cross-linked, aromatic polymer composed of phenylpropanoid units. There has been an ever growing interest in the biodegradation of this complex polymer for the last 30 years. White-rot fungi have been found to be an important lignin degraders in the natural environment. With the discovery of two groups of hemoprotein enzymes, lignin peroxidases and manganese (II) -dependent peroxidases, from the lignin degrading culture of a white-rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, rapid progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of lignin biodegradation. Synthetic metaUoporphyrins, the iron (III) and manganese (III) complexes of meso-tetra (2, 6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin (TDCSPPFeCl and TDCSPPMnCl) and meso-tetra (2, 6-dichloro-3-sulfonatophenyl) -B-octachloroporphyrin (Clâ‚₆TSPPFeCl and Cl.
