Formate Oxidase (FOx) from Aspergillus oryzae: One Catalyst Enables Diverse H ₂ O ₂ -Dependent Biocatalytic Oxidation Reactions

An increasing number of biocatalytic oxidation reactions rely on H ₂ O ₂ as a clean oxidant. The poor robustness of most enzymes towards H ₂ O ₂ , however, necessitates more efficient systems for in situ H ₂ O ₂ generation. In analogy to the well-known formate dehydrogenase to...

Multienzymatic in situ hydrogen peroxide generation cascade for peroxygenase-catalysed oxyfunctionalisation reactions

There is an increasing interest in the application of peroxygenases in biocatalysis, because of their ability to catalyse the oxyfunctionalisation reaction in a stereoselective fashion and with high catalytic efficiencies, while using hydrogen peroxide or organic peroxides as oxidant. However, enzymes belonging to this class exhibit a very...
