Abstract excerpt
The Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO)-mediated oxidation of racemic cyclobutanone offers an attractive route to (1S,5R)-bicyclic lactone for the synthesis of unsaturated fatty acid prostaglandin. However, limited enantioselectivity restricts the applicability of this method. In this work, a thermostable BVMO PockeMO was engineered in the active site and substrate tunnel to obtain the quadruple mutant MU4...
