Epoxidation of Methyl Esters as Valuable Biomolecules: Monitoring of Reaction
The paper is focused on the epoxidation of methyl esters prepared from oil crops with various profiles of higher fatty acids, especially unsaturated, which are mainly contained in the non-edible linseed and Camelina sativa oil (second generation).

P450BM3-Catalyzed Oxidations Employing Dual Functional Small Molecules [PDF]
A set of dual functional small molecules (DFSMs) containing different amino acids has been synthesized and employed together with three different variants of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase P450BM3 from Bacillus megaterium in H2O2-dependent oxidation

Catalytic and mechanistic studies into the epoxidation of styrenes using manganese complexes of structurally similar polyamine ligands [PDF]
The synthesis and catalytic activity of manganese(ii) complexes of two polyamine ligands is reported which highlights how a small structural change in the ligand affects the overall catalytic behaviour.

Insights into the function of silver as an oxidation catalyst by ab initio, atomistic thermodynamics [PDF]
To help understand the high activity of silver as an oxidation catalyst, e.g., for the oxidation of ethylene to epoxide and the dehydrogenation of methanol to formaldehyde, the interaction and stability of oxygen species at the Ag(111) surface has been studied for a wide range of coverages.

Mechanistic investigation on oxygen transfer with the manganese-salen complex [PDF]
The best-known application of salen complexes is the use of a chiral ligand loaded with manganese to form the Jacobsen complex. This organometallic catalyst is used in the epoxidation of unfunctionalized olefins and can achieve very high selectivities ...

The stability of 3 transmembrane and 4 transmembrane human vitamin K epoxide reductase models [PDF]
3 transmembrane and 4 transmembrane helices models are suggested for the human vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR). In this study, we investigate the stability of the human 3 transmembrane/4 transmembrane VKOR models employing a coarse-grained normal mode analysis and molecular dynamics simulation.

Why is a noble metal catalytically active? The role of the O-Ag interaction in the function of silver as an oxidation catalyst [PDF]
Extensive density-functional theory calculations, and taking into account temperature and pressure, affords a comprehensive picture of the behavior and interaction of oxygen and Ag(111), and provides valuable insight into the function of silver as an oxidation catalyst.

Total synthesis of aurofusarin: studies on the atropisomeric stability of bis-naphthoquinones [PDF]
An efficient annulation involving pyrone addition to a quinone and Dieckmann condensation was developed for rapid assembly of a γ-naphthopyrone monomeric precursor to the bis-naphthoquinone natural product aurofusarin.

Epoxides and Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase in Cardiovascular Physiology [PDF]
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are arachidonic acid metabolites that importantly contribute to vascular and cardiac physiology. The contribution of EETs to vascular and cardiac function is further influenced by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) that degrades EETs to diols. Vascular actions of EETs include dilation and angiogenesis.
