Many scientific fields, although driven by similar purposes and dealing with similar
technologies, often appear so isolated and far from each other that even the vocabularies to …

The Wacker reaction gives access to carbonyls from olefins and is traditionally relying on
metals, mostly palladium. Here, unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) are spotlighted as …

Abstract Light-Oxygen-Voltage (LOV) domains are the protein-based light switches used in
nature to trigger and regulate various processes. They allow light signals to be converted …

Developing new methods to engineer photobiocatalytic reactions is of utmost significance
for artificial photosynthesis, but it remains a grand challenge due to the intrinsic …

Emerging consumer demand for safer, more sustainable flavors and fragrances has created
new challenges for the industry. Enzymatic syntheses represent a promising green …

Several unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) have been identified that perform a broad range
of selective oxyfunctionalizations and hence represent a pivotal addition to the biocatalysis' …

This thesis explores the oxidation of organic substrates by unspecific peroxygenases
(UPOs). The objectives were to explore the substrate scope of UPOs and investigate their …

(Hydroxymethyl) furfural (HMF) is a key platform chemical derived from renewable biomass
sources, holding great potential as starting material for the synthesis of valuable …
