This Review is aimed at synthetic organic chemists who may be familiar with organometallic
catalysis but have no experience with biocatalysis, and seeks to provide an answer to the …

Over time, organisms have evolved strategies to cope with the abundance of dioxygen on
Earth. Oxygen-utilizing enzymes tightly control the reactions involving O2 mostly by …

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

Pollution, accidents, and misinformation have earned the pharmaceutical and chemical
industry a poor public reputation, despite their undisputable importance to society …

Oxygenases-catalyzed reductive activation of molecular oxygen and incorporation of O
atoms into an organic molecule is undoubtedly one of the most attractive research areas …

Value-added utilization of lignin waste streams is vital to fully sustainable and economically
viable biorefineries. However, deriving substantial value from its main constituents is …

Chemoenzymatic asymmetric synthesis of an anabolic-androgenic steroid (+)-boldenone (3)
and its prodrug (+)-boldenone undecylenate (4) was accomplished starting from …

Abstract Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) are versatile biocatalysts for the
conversion of ketones to lactones or esters while also being able to efficiently oxidize …

Biocatalytic synthesis of pharmaco-chiral sulfoxides has gained interest in recent years for
its environmental friendliness. However, only a few natural biocatalysts can be used for the …

The typically low thermodynamic and kinetic stability of enzymes is a bottleneck for their
application in industrial synthesis. Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases, which oxidize ketones …
