Laccase is a promiscuous enzyme that catalyzes the polymerization of a wide range of phenolic substrates. Diverse poly(catechol) products can be obtained depending on the reactor employed and modifications of the laccase enzyme. The generation of these different reaction products may be attributed to changes in the geometry of the enzyme active site induced by different environmental conditions.
