Abstract excerpt
Engineering high chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity is a prerequisite for enzyme usage in organic synthesis. Cytochromes P450 can oxidize a broad range of substrates, including macrocycles, which are becoming popular scaffolds for therapeutic agents. However, a large conformational space explored by macrocycles not only reduces the selectivity of oxidation but also impairs computational enzyme design...
