Abstract

Abstract: Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases are potentially a very useful class of hydroxylation catalysts; they are able to introduce oxygen at activated and non-activated carbon-hydrogen bonds and thus lead to regio-and/or stereochemically pure compounds. However, this potential is lowered by their intrinsic low activity and inherent instability. P450- catalysed biotransformations require a constant supply of NAD (P) H, making the process ...
