Abstract excerpt
Peroxygenases are heme-dependent enzymes that use peroxide-borne oxygen to catalyze a wide range of oxyfunctionalization reactions. Herein, we report the engineering of an unusual cofactor-independent peroxygenase based on a promiscuous tautomerase that accepts different hydroperoxides (t-BuOOH and H2 O2 ) to accomplish enantiocomplementary epoxidations of various α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (citral and substituted...
