COPPER CONTAINING OXIDASES USEFUL AS IODIDE OXIDASES.

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for oxidation of iodide which comprises contacting, in an aqueous solution, a copper-containing oxidase enzyme and a source of ionic iodide(I-), for a time and under conditions sufficient to permit the conversion of ionic iodide to iodine by the enzyme. The copper-containing enzymes may be, for example, a laccase or a bilirubin oxidase.
