As a result of the adaptation of life to an aerobic environment, nature has evolved a panoply
of metalloproteins for oxidative metabolism and protection against reactive oxygen species …

Many oxidation–reduction (redox) enzymes, particularly oxygenases, have roles in reactions
that make and break C–C bonds. The list includes cytochrome P450 and other heme-based …

Plastic contamination currently threatens a wide variety of ecosystems and presents
damaging repercussions and negative consequences for many wildlife species. Sustainable …

Understanding the molecular basis for controlled H2O2 activation is of fundamental
importance for peroxide-driven catalysis by metalloenzymes. In addition to O2 activation in …

The majority of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) predominantly operate as
monooxygenases, but recently a class of P450 enzymes was discovered, that can act as …

Polyethylene (PE) is a widely used plastic known for its resistance to biodegradation, posing
a significant environmental challenge. Recent advances have shed light on microorganisms …

Biosynthetically produced 1-alkenes hold immense value as green alternatives to fossil fuels
and find widespread applications in the polymer, lubricant, and detergent industries. UndB is …

We present a mixed experimental/theoretical determination of the bond strengths and redox
potentials that define the ground-state thermodynamics for C–H bond activation in …

CYP152 peroxygenases catalyze decarboxylation and hydroxylation of fatty acids using
H2O2 as cofactor. To understand the molecular basis for the chemo‐and regioselectivity of …

Conspectus Every year, perhaps as much as 800 million tons of hydrocarbons enters the
environment; alkanes make up a large percentage of it. Most are transformed by organisms …
