Propositions

valuable aromatic compounds
by Mohamed Habib
1. The bigger the better does not always hold true for synthesized lignin-like oligomers. It all depends on the application intended for the synthesized oligomer. (Chapter 3)
2. The synthesis of lignin-like oligomers from eugenol using eugenol oxidase and a peroxidase results in insoluble lignin-like material that is very similar to natural lignin. (Chapter 3)
3. Structure-inspired mutagenesis can be very powerful to improve the kinetic properties of an enzyme. (Chapter 4)
4. The aspartate in the GXXDG motif found in DyP-type peroxidases is not essential for enzyme activity. (Chapter 5)
5. The most interesting yet sometimes overwhelming peculiarity of Dutch culture is the ‘Dutch directness’.
6. One should always carry a jacket in the Netherlands as the Dutch weather is unpredictable.
