Peroxygenase-Catalysed Epoxidation of Styrene Derivatives in Neat Reaction Media

Biocatalytic oxyfunctionalisation reactions are traditionally conducted in aqueous media limiting their production yield. Here we report the application of a peroxygenase in neat reaction conditions reaching product concentrations of up to 360 mM.

Deazaflavins as photocatalysts for the direct reductive regeneration of flavoenzymes

Deazaflavins are potentially useful redox mediators for the direct, nicotinamide-independent regeneration of oxidoreductases. Especially the O₂-stability of their reduced forms have attracted significant interest for the regeneration of monooxygenases. In this contribution we further investigate the photochemical properties of...
