Abstract: The invention relates to a kit comprising the following individual components: (a) polymers comprising at least one free amino group, (b) bridge molecules selected from the group consisting of monocyclic ortho-dihydroxyaromates, mono-cyclic para-dihydroxyaromates, bicyclic monohydrxyaromates, polycyclic monohydroxyaromates, bicyclic dihydroxyaromates, polycyclic dihydroxyaromates, bicyclic trihydroxyaromates, polycyclic trihydroxyaromates, and mixtures thereof, and (c) polyphenoloxidases, in particular, lignolytic polyphenoloxidases, whereby the individual components b) and c) are not in contact.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel antimicrobial agents that are based on ?-lactam derivatives and are produced by reacting previously known ?-lactam derivatives with polyphenol oxidase substrates under the influence of free radicals and by forming salts of any ?-lactam derivatives with polyhexamethylene biguanide hydrogen carbonate. Said novel compounds are suitable as an antibiotic.

Abstract: A resorbable bone replacement material made of calcium phosphate particles of different phases which are embedded in an inventive-specific cross-linked collagen matrix. The goal is to form a non-brittle, bone replacement moulded body having a positive fit, i.e. having a shape which is anatomic and/or corresponds to the defect, which perfectly fills the bone defect and can be resorbed thereby. Said goal is achieved by producing the bone replacement material made of a mixture of calcium phosphate particles which is embedded in an inventive cross-linked collagen matrix. In particular, the collagen cross-linking is achieved by a Laccase-induced peptide cross-linking and suitable bridge molecules. Essentially substituted dihydroxyarmotes and/or substrates of the lignolytic polyphenoloxidases, such as Laccases, are suitable as bridge molecules.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of biologically active compounds, wherein active substances having additional functional groups and a modified spectrum of activity and modified application properties are obtainable from medicinal substances and plant protective agents as substrates which bear at least one amino or hydroxy functional group by using a one-electron reaction catalyzed by enzymes or compositions having enzymatic activity and a broad spectrum of substrates, characterized in that free-radical forming enzymes are employed as enzymes and/or supernatants of ligninolytic fungi in solution are employed as compositions having enzymatic activity, wherein the following can be introduced as additional functional groups:
