Biocatalytic Aromaticity-Breaking Epoxidation of Naphthalene and Nucleophilic Ring-Opening ReactionsZhang, W. (author), Li, Huanhuan (author), Younes, S.H.H. (author), Gómez De Santos, Patricia (author), Tieves, F. (author), Grogan, Gideon (author), Pabst, Martin (author), Alcalde, Miguel (author), Whitwood, Adrian C. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Aromatic hydroxylation reactions catalyzed by heme-thiolate enzymes proceed via an epoxide intermediate. These aromatic epoxides could be valuable building blocks for organic synthesis giving access to a range of chiral trans-disubstituted cyclohexadiene synthons. Here, we show that naphthalene epoxides generated by fungal peroxygenases can...journal article 2021

(author), Park, Chan Beum (author)Peroxygenases catalyze selective oxyfunctionalization of hydrocarbons with high conversion efficiencies using H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> as a key cosubstrate. Here, we report an unbiased photoelectrochemical (PEC) tandem structure consisting of a FeOOH/BiVO<sub>4</sub> photoanode, a Cu(In,Ga)Se<sub>2</sub> solar absorber, and a graphitic...journal article 2019

(author), Hollmann, F. (author)An increasing number of biocatalytic oxidation reactions rely on H <sub>2</sub> O <sub>2</sub> as a clean oxidant. The poor robustness of most enzymes towards H <sub>2</sub> O <sub>2</sub> , however, necessitates more efficient systems for in situ H <sub>2</sub> O <sub>2</sub> generation. In analogy to the well-known formate dehydrogenase to...journal article 2019
