Nonconventional regeneration methods for oxygenases

In biocatalysis we use enzymes to accelerate chemical reactions. The advantage of enzymes over other chemical catalysts is their excellent performance in respect to reactivity, regioselectivity and enantioselectivity. The gentle environment at which they can optimally function further enhances their applicability to provide more sustainable...

Deazaflavins as photocatalysts for the direct reductive regeneration of flavoenzymes

Deazaflavins are potentially useful redox mediators for the direct, nicotinamide-independent regeneration of oxidoreductases. Especially the O₂-stability of their reduced forms have attracted significant interest for the regeneration of monooxygenases. In this contribution we further investigate the photochemical properties of...
