Isolation and Biophysical Characterization of Lipoxygenase-1 from Soybean Seed, a Versatile Biocatalyst for Industrial Applications.

ABSTRACT: Lipoxygenases are enzymes found in plants, mammals, and other organisms that catalyse the hydroperoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as arachidonic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. They have attracted a lot of attention as molecular targets for industrial and biomedical applications, due to their implication in key biological processes, such as plant development and defence, cell growth, as well as immune response and inflammation. Soybean (Glycine max) lipoxygenase (LOX) is a versatile biocatalyst used in biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and food industries. sLOX1, a soybean LOX isoform, is central in various industrial applications; thus, it is of particular interest to develop an efficient sLOX1 isolation process, control its activity, and leverage its potential as an ef
