Paul, C.E. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Qu, Ge (author), Yuan, Bo (author), Sun, Zhoutong (author)Contemporary Biocatalysis heavily relies on enzyme engineering as natural enzymes frequently lack the requisite attributes for effective organic synthesis. The inherent limitations in stability, catalytic activity, and selectivity of wild-type enzymes often hinder their suitability for chemical synthesis. Over the past 25 years, there has...journal article 2024

Kim, Chang Hyun (author), Kim, Jinhyun (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Park, Chan Beum (author)Solar-driven N<sub>2</sub> fixation offers a green alternative to the highly energy-intensive Haber-Bosch process that releases more than 300 million metric tons of CO<sub>2</sub> annually to form NH<sub>3</sub>. However, N<sub>2</sub>-reducing photoelectrochemical (PEC) studies have not elucidated how an oxidation reaction affects the N<sub...journal article 2023

Wu, Y. (author), Paul, C.E. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)This review article critically compares two widely used types of catalysis, chemo- and biocatalysis, and provides insights on their greenness according to specified parameters. A comparative analysis of the environmental impact of chemo- and biocatalytic oxyfunctionalisation reactions based on published experimental data reveals that both...journal article 2023

Xu, X. (author), Hilberath, T. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Heme-dependent oxygenases (i.e. P450 monooxygenases and peroxygenases) are highly selective catalysts for the selective oxyfunctionalisation or organic compounds. Both enzyme classes exhibit mechanistic similarities (i.e. using so-called compound I (CpdI) as active oxidation species) and differences in how CpdI is formed. From the differences...review 2023

Li, Huanhuan (author), Shen, Qianqian (author), Zhou, Xiaoying (author), Duan, Peigao (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Huang, Yawen (author), Zhang, Wuyuan (author)Chiral sulfoxides are valuable building blocks in asymmetric synthesis. However, the biocatalytic synthesis of chiral sulfoxides is still challenged by low product titres. Herein, we report the use of peroxygenase as a catalyst for asymmetric sulfoxidation under non-aqueous conditions. Upon covalent immobilisation, the peroxygenase showed...journal article 2023

Hagedoorn, P.L. (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author)Oleate hydratase catalyses the addition of water to the CC double bond of oleic acid to produce (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid. The enzyme requires an FAD cofactor that functions to optimise the active site structure. A wide range of unsaturated fatty acids can be hydrated at the C10 and in some cases the C13 position. The substrate scope can be...review 2021

(author), Eser, Bekir Engin (author)Fatty acid photodecarboxylase (FAP) is one of the few photoenzymes in nature. The ability of FAP to convert fatty acids into alka(e)nes without the need for reducing equivalents put this enzyme into spotlight for biocatalytic applications. Although it has been discovered only a few years ago, many studies already emerged demonstrating its...journal article 2021

Calderini, Elia (author), Süss, Philipp (author), Hollmann, F. (author), Wardenga, Rainer (author), Schallmey, Anett (author)Multi-step cascade reactions have gained increasing attention in the biocatalysis field in recent years. In particular, multi-enzymatic cascades can achieve high molecular complexity without workup of reaction intermediates thanks to the enzymes’ intrinsic selectivity; and where enzymes fall short, organo-or metal catalysts can further expand...journal article 2021

Erol, Özlem (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Following ionic liquids, (natural) deep eutectic solvents ((NA)DES) are receiving significant attention as performance additives for biocatalytic reactions. (NA)DES are increasingly evaluated as solvents to replace water in hydrolase-catalyzed esterification reactions thereby shifting the reaction equilibrium. They also frequently outperform...book chapter 2021

(author)In plasma-driven biocatalysis, enzymes are employed to carry out reactions using species generated by non-thermal plasmas as the precursors. We have previously demonstrated that this is feasible in principle, but that the approach suffers from the short lifetime of the biocatalyst under operating conditions. In this work, protection...journal article 2020

However, summing up the obvious wastes generated in the laboratory neglects energy-related wastes (mostly greenhouse gases) which are generated elsewhere. To estimate these wastes, we propose to extend the E-factor by an energy-term (E<sup>+<...journal article 2019

Zhang, W. (author), Hollmann, F. (author)Enzymatic methods for the polymerisation of vinyl monomers are presented and critically discussed. Vinyl monomers can be polymerised initiated by enzyme-catalysed radical formation.
