Directed evolution of unspecific peroxygenase in organic solvents

Fungal unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) are efficient biocatalysts that insert oxygen atoms into nonactivated C–H bonds with high selectivity. Many oxyfunctionalization reactions catalyzed by UPOs are favored in organic solvents, a milieu in which their enzymatic activity is drastically reduced. Using as departure point the UPO secretion...

Effects of Substrate and Polymer Encapsulation on CO₂ Electroreduction by Immobilized Indium(III) Protoporphyrin

Heterogenization of molecular catalysts for CO₂ electroreduction has attracted significant research activity, due to the combined advantages of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts. In this work, we demonstrate the strong influence of the nature of the substrate on the selectivity and reactivity of electrocatalytic CO<sub>2</sub...
