Plant-derived biomass is the most abundant biogenic carbon source on Earth. Despite this,
only a small clade of organisms known as white-rot fungi (WRF) can efficiently break down …

Fungal unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) are among the most promising biocatalysts in
synthetic chemistry. The kaleidoscope of oxyfunctionalization reactions that are of industrial …

The selective insertion of oxygen into non-activated organic molecules has to date been
considered of utmost importance to synthesize existing and next generation industrial …

Enzymes are the catalyst of choice for highly selective reactions, offering nature-inspired
approaches for sustainable chemical synthesis. Oxidative enzymes (eg, monooxygenases …

The hydroxylation of fatty acids is an appealing reaction in synthetic chemistry, although the
lack of selective catalysts hampers its industrial implementation. In this study, we have …

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 …

Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs), whose sequences can be found in the genomes of
thousands of filamentous fungi, many yeasts and certain fungus-like protists, are fascinating …

Enzyme-based bioremediation is a simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly
method for isolating and removing a wide range of environmental pollutants. This study is a …

Biocatalysis is constantly providing novel options for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical
ingredients (APIs). In addition to drug development and manufacturing, biocatalysis also …

Hydrocarbon footprints in the environment, via biosynthesis, natural seepage,
