When challenged by a difficult reduction reaction, a chemist should always also consider
biocatalysis in synthesis planning. The inherent selectivity of enzymes has been known for …

Most nitroaromatic compounds are toxic and mutagenic for living organisms, but some
microorganisms have developed oxidative or reductive pathways to degrade or transform …

The old yellow enzyme (OYE) family is a large group of flavin‐dependent redox biocatalysts
with major applications in the industrial reduction of activated alkenes. These enzymes have …

dependent enzymes from the 'old yellow enzyme'family at the expense of NAD (P) H yields …

Abstract 2, 4, 6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and its derivatives are nitrogen-containing aromatic
compounds having chemical and thermal stability at ambient temperature and pressure …

Enzyme-catalyzed reductions have been studied for decades and have been introduced in
more than 10 industrial processes for production of various chiral alcohols, α-hydroxy acids …

Ene-reductases from the 'Old Yellow Enzyme'family of flavoproteins catalyze the asymmetric
reduction of various α, β-unsaturated compounds at the expense of a nicotinamide cofactor …

An electrochemical sensor for ultratrace nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) using
mesoporous SiO2 of MCM-41 as sensitive materials is reported. MCM-41 was synthesized …

Asymmetric hydrogenation of activated alkenes catalysed by ene-reductases from the old
