Structural basis for endoperoxide-forming oxygenases
Endoperoxide natural products are widely distributed in nature and exhibit various biological activities. Due to their chemical features, endoperoxide and endoperoxide-derived secondary metabolites have attracted keen attention in the field of natural ...

Catalysts on Demand: Selective Oxidations by Laboratory-Evolved Cytochrome P450 BM3 [PDF]
Efficient catalysts for selective oxidation of C-H bonds using atmospheric oxygen are highly desirable to decrease the economic and environmental costs associated with conventional oxidation processes.

Most polyunsaturated fatty acids have the minimal 1,4-cis,cis-pentadiene configuration to be oxygenated into a conjugated diene hydroperoxide. This product is usually reduced into the corresponding hydroxy derivative by cell glutathione peroxidases.

Rieske-type two-component vanillate O-demethylases (VanODs) catalyze conversion of the lignin-derived monomer vanillate into protocatechuate in several bacterial species. Currently, VanODs have received attention because of the demand of effective lignin

The methionine salvage pathway in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Polyamine synthesis produces methylthioadenosine, which has to be disposed of. The cell recycles it into methionine through methylthioribose (MTR). Very little was known about MTR recycling for methionine salvage in Bacillus subtilis. RESULTS:

Industrial Application of 2-Oxoglutarate-Dependent Oxygenases
C–H functionalization is a chemically challenging but highly desirable transformation. 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases (2OGXs) are remarkably versatile biocatalysts for the activation of C–H bonds. In nature, they have been shown to accept both small

Bacillus subtilis HmoB is a heme oxygenase with a novel structure [PDF]
Iron availability is limited in the environment and mostbacteria have developed a system to acquire iron from hosthemoproteins. Heme oxygenase plays an important role bydegrading heme group and releasing the essential nutrientiron.
