To study the influence of structural properties of the substrate on the selectivity of the dioxygenation catalyzed by soybean lipoxygenase (LOX), a number of synthesized (Z, Z)-3, 6-dienyll-adipates with various distal residues were used and the kinetic parameters, the regioselectivity, and the enantioselectivity of product formation determined. Product analysis comprised the reduction of hydroperoxides, derivatization to their methyl esters, ...
