Marine ecosystems are home to bacteria which are exposed to a wide variety of
environmental conditions, such as extremes in temperature, salinity, nutrient availability and …

Monooxygenases perform chemo‐, regio‐and/or enantioselective oxygenations of organic
substrates under mild reaction conditions. These properties and the increasing number of …

Enantiopure epoxides are remarkably versatile intermediates for the synthesis of numerous
biologically active targets, to which considerable efforts have been devoted either …

The alkane monooxygenase AlkBGT from Pseudomonas putida GPo1 constitutes a versatile
enzyme system for the ω‐oxyfunctionalization of medium chain‐length alkanes. In this study …

Styrene monooxygenase (SMO) is a two-component flavoenzyme composed of an NADH-
