Biocatalysis has an enormous impact on chemical synthesis. The waves in which
biocatalysis has developed, and in doing so changed our perception of what organic …

During the recent past years, tremendous efforts have been made to establish
enantioselective routes for the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds due to their …

Abstract Adenosine‐5′‐triphosphate‐dependent enzyme catalysed reactions are
widespread in nature. Consequently, the enzymes involved have an intrinsic potential for …

Biocatalysis is an attractive route for the synthesis of complex organic molecules, such as
pharmaceuticals, due to the properties of enzymes (high specificity and high catalytic rate) …

Lyases are enzymes that catalyze the bond construction and breaking by means other than
hydrolysis or redox reactions. Such enzymes are particular in the sense that they only …

Aldol reactions constitute a powerful methodology for carbon–carbon bond formation in
synthetic organic chemistry. Biocatalysis by means of aldolases offers a unique …

The utilization of one-carbon (C 1) assimilation pathways to produce chemicals and fuels
from low-cost C 1 compounds could greatly reduce the substrate-related production costs …

This review is focused on advances over the last several years in the application of
aldolases to organic synthesis. Several new technologies have been implemented to …

Carbon‐carbon bond formation is among the most challenging transformations in the
organic synthetic chemistry. Enzymes capable to perform this reaction are of great interest …

Biocatalytic carbon‐carbon bond formation by means of aldolases offers an exceptionally
stereoselective and green tool for this strategic reaction in synthetic organic chemistry …
