In a continuous effort to emulate the efficiency of biosynthetic pathways, considerable
progress has been made in developing one-pot chemoenzymatic processes that take full …

Chiral α‐functionalized carboxylic acids are valuable precursors for a variety of medicines
and natural products. Herein, we described an engineered fatty acid photodecarboxylase …

Biocatalysis has emerged as a great addition to traditional chemical processes for
production of bulk chemicals and pharmaceuticals. To overcome the limitations of naturally …

Modern tools for enzyme discovery and protein engineering substantially broadened the
number of enzymes applicable for biocatalysis and helped to alter their properties such as …

Enantiomerically pure alcohols, as key intermediates, play an essential role in the
pharmaceutical, agrochemical and chemical industries. Among the methods used for their …

Water is omnipresent and essential. Yet at the same time it is a rather unreactive molecule.
The direct addition of water to CC double bonds is therefore a challenge not answered …

A general combined purification and immobilization method to facilitate biocatalytic process
development is presented. The support material, EziG™, is based on controlled porosity …
