Abstract excerpt
The Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenase, Phenylacetone Monooxygenase (PAMO), recently discovered by Fraaije, Janssen, and co-workers, is unusually thermostable, which makes it a promising candidate for catalyzing enantioselective Baeyer-Villiger reactions in organic chemistry. Unfortunately, however, its substrate scope is very limited, reasonable reaction rates being observed essentially only with phenylacetone and...
