Nature has evolved halogenase enzymes to regioselectively halogenate a diverse range of
biosynthetic precursors, with the halogens introduced often having a profound effect on the …

Flavoprotein monooxygenases (FPMOs) are single-or two-component enzymes that
catalyze a diverse set of chemo-, regio-and enantioselective oxyfunctionalization reactions …

During the last decades a large number of flavin-dependent monooxygenases have been
isolated and studied. This has revealed that flavoprotein monooxygenases are able to …

Today, biocatalysis is a standard technology for the production of chemicals. An analysis of
134 industrial biotransformations reveals that hydrolases (44%) and redox biocatalysts …

Biocatalysis is an enabling technology adding to organic oxidation chemistry. Especially the
high selectivity of enzymatic oxidation coevally operating under mild conditions and not …

Biocatalysis fulfils many key criteria of green chemistry, but this raises the question: how
efficient are such production methods and how important is biotechnology for greener …

Monooxygenases are enzymes that catalyze the insertion of a single oxygen atom from O2
into an organic substrate. In order to carry out this type of reaction, these enzymes need to …

During the last decades, biocatalysis became of increasing importance for chemical and
pharmaceutical industries. Regarding regio-and stereospecificity, enzymes have shown to …

Product removal from aqueous media poses a challenge in biotechnological whole-cell
biotransformation processes in which substrates and/or products may have toxic effects. The …

Green chemistry aims to minimize the environmental hazards of chemical processes and
their products. Ever since its introduction by Anastas,[1] this principle has inspired …
