How To Break the Janus Effect of H ₂ O ₂ in Biocatalysis? Understanding Inactivation Mechanisms To Generate more Robust Enzymes

H ₂ O ₂ , is an attractive oxidant for synthetic chemistry, especially if activated as percarboxylic acid. H ₂ O ₂ , however, is also a potent inactivator of enzymes. Protein engineering efforts to improve enzyme resistance against H ₂ O ₂ in the past have mostly focused on...

Deep Eutectic Solvents Enable More Robust Chemoenzymatic Epoxidation Reactions

A chemoenzymatic method for the production of epoxidized vegetable oils was developed. The unique combination of the commercial lipase G from Penicillieum camembertii with certain deep eutectic solvents enabled the efficient production of epoxidized vegetable oils.
