Selective Oxyfunctionalisation Reactions Driven by Sulfite Oxidase-Catalysed In Situ Generation of H₂O₂

H₂O₂ can be accepted by several peroxygenases as a clean oxidant, able to supply both the necessary electrons and oxygen atom at the same time. The biocatalysts, in turn, are able to catalyse an array of interesting oxygen insertion reactions at enantio- and regio-selectivities hard to attain with classical chemical...

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...
