Industries are increasingly turning to green chemistry, with laccase enzymes garnering attention due to their ability to use oxygen to produce water as a by-product while catalyzing a wide range of reactions. Bacterial laccases, though less explored, offer stability at high temperatures and pH levels. However, they require mediator systems to handle complex molecules. Structure-based virtual screening aids in identifying suitable mediators, potentially reducing costs, and accelerating discovery. These techniques rely solely on the target protein three-dimensional structure and do not require knowledge of the unique bioactivity of the protein. As a result, structure-based approaches are theoretically more adaptive to unknown protein and ligand compounds than ligand-based ap-proaches. Therefore, we aimed to screen and compare the efficacy of natural mediators over the artificial mediators for laccase oxidation. Here, we predicted that natural mediators like coumaric acid and ferulic acid showed promise comparable to artificial ones, such as N-hydroxythalimide and N-hydroxyacetanilide respectively, in computational assessments (binding energy), suggesting virtual screening’s potential in mediator discovery.

Journal of Hyojeong Academia aims to serve as a global platform where researchers and scholars of various disciplines can contribute ideas for our sustainable global community of Co‐existence, Co‐prosperity, and Co‐righteousness. The journal is a multidisciplinary, open‐access, internationally peer‐reviewed
academic journal, and it invites all areas of research conducted in the spirit of post materialism including studies centering on God, studies unifying religions and
sciences, and studies on all aspects of Co‐existence, Co‐prosperity, and Co‐righteousness.
