Over time, organisms have evolved strategies to cope with the abundance of dioxygen on
Earth. Oxygen-utilizing enzymes tightly control the reactions involving O2 mostly by …

Flavin-dependent monooxygenases catalyze a wide variety of chemo-, regio-and
enantioselective oxygenation reactions. As such, they are involved in key biological …

Flavoprotein monooxygenases (FPMOs) are single-or two-component enzymes that
catalyze a diverse set of chemo-, regio-and enantioselective oxyfunctionalization reactions …

Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) has emerged as a crucial bio-based chemical building block in
the drive towards developing materials from renewable resources, due to its direct …

Cysteine thiols are among the most reactive functional groups in proteins, and their pairing
in disulfide linkages is a common post-translational modification in proteins entering the …

The reaction of flavoenzymes with oxygen remains a fascinating area of research because
of its relevance for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Several exciting recent …

Natural products that contain functional groups with heteroatom-heteroatom linkages (X–X,
where X= N, O, S, and P) are a small yet intriguing group of metabolites. The reactivity and …

We review recent developments in our understanding of molecular recognition and ligand
association, focusing on two major viewpoints:(a) studies that highlight new physical insight …

There is still a growing interest in developing glucose sensors using glucose oxidase. Since
2012, over 1000 papers are published every year, while efficient commercial sensors exist …

Monooxygenases are promising catalysts because they in principle enable the organic
chemist to perform highly selective oxyfunctionalisation reactions that are otherwise difficult …
