The current interest in catalytic oxidative transformations has been stimulated by two major
environmental issues. The first one is the need for replacement of oxidations which use …

▪ Abstract Enantiopure epoxides, as well as their corresponding vicinal diols, are valuable
intermediates in fine organic synthesis, in particular for the preparation of biologically active …

Chloroperoxidase (CPO) catalyzes the oxidation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) with
hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant. The reaction proceeds with 60–74% selectivity to furan-2 …

Since the discovery of chloroperoxidase (CPO, EC 1.11. 1.10, from Caldariomyces fumago)
as an epoxidation catalyst, 1 the selectivity and efficiency of this reaction has been the …

Two novel heme-containing peroxidases, one able to incorporate halogens into aromatic
substrates and the other able to remove them, have recently been isolated from marine …

The present study shows that MP8 in the presence of H2O2 is able to catalyze the rupture of
the stable carbon-fluorine bond of 4-fluorophenol, used as a model substrate for the …

Association of the physiological substrate cyclopentanedione (CPDO) with chloroperoxidase
(CPO) was confirmed from both line-width and longitudinal relaxation time measurements of …

Chloroperoxidase (CPO) from the fungus Caldariomyces fumago can catalyze many of the
characteristic reactions of heme peroxidases, catalases, and cytochrome P450. In the …

As reviewed in the preceding chapter, P-450 is the enzyme capable of oxidizing a large
number of organic compounds including non-activated hydrocarbons, and the high …

Microperoxidases: kinetics and stability. Microperoxidases are small enzymes prepared by
proteolytic digestion of cytochromes c. The proteolytic removal of most of the protein …
