Fungi produce heme-containing peroxidases and peroxygenases, flavin-containing
oxidases and dehydrogenases, and different copper-containing oxidoreductases involved in …

In general, hydrogen peroxide is a stable and relatively mild oxidant and it can be regarded
as the ultimate “green” reagent because water and oxygen are the only by-products …

Enzymatic hydroxylation of activated and nonactivated sp3-carbons attracts keen interest
from the chemistry community as it is one of the most challenging tasks in organic synthesis …

In 2004, the fungal heme-thiolate enzyme subfamily of unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs)
was first described in the basidiomycete Agrocybe aegerita. As UPOs naturally catalyze a …

Fungal unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs, EC 1.11. 2.1) form a superfamily of heme proteins
and possess promiscuity for oxygen transfer reactions. The first UPO was discovered in the …

Selective oxyfunctionalizations of aliphatic compounds are difficult chemical reactions,
where enzymes can play an important role due to their stereo-and regio-selectivity and …

Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) are fungal secreted counterparts of the cytochrome P450
monooxygenases present in most living cells. Both enzyme types share the ability to perform …

Abstract Unspecific peroxygenases (UPO, EC 1.11. 2.1) secreted by fungi open an efficient
way to selectively oxyfunctionalize diverse organic substrates, including less‐activated …

C− H oxyfunctionalisation remains a distinct challenge for synthetic organic chemists.
Oxygenases and peroxygenases (grouped here as “oxygenating biocatalysts”) catalyse the …

Epoxidation of unsaturated fatty acids by unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) of the best-
known long-UPO subfamily, including the Agrocybe aegerita (Aae UPO) and Coprinopsis …
