Grafting of Poly(tyrosine) by Laccase Improves the Tensile Strength and Anti-shrinkage of Wool

The laccase-assisted grafting of poly(tyrosine) is performed aiming to impart shrink-resistant properties to the wool materials. Laccase is able to catalyze the oxidation of tyrosine into dityrosine efficiently. When the reaction is performed using poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as the template, the ty...
