This Review is aimed at synthetic organic chemists who may be familiar with organometallic
catalysis but have no experience with biocatalysis, and seeks to provide an answer to the …

Activation and reduction of O2 and H2O2 by synthetic and biosynthetic iron porphyrin
models have proved to be a versatile platform for evaluating second-sphere effects deemed …

Utilization of O2 as an abundant and environmentally benign oxidant is of great interest in
the design of bioinspired synthetic catalytic oxidation systems. Metalloenzymes activate O2 …

Hydrogels are a series of soft and wet materials with three dimensions of crosslinked
