Styrene oxide isomerase (SOI) is a part of the styrene degradation enzyme complex, performing the isomerization of toxic intermediate styrene oxide into phenylacetaldehyde. For many years, the enzyme was believed to be cofactor-independent, and hence, the mechanism of this enzyme ...
Membrane-bound styrene oxide isomerase (SOI) catalyses the Meinwald rearrangement—a Lewis-acid-catalysed isomerization of an epoxide to a carbonyl compound—and has been used in single and cascade reactions. However, the structural information that explains its reaction mechanism ...
