Photoenzymatic synthesis achieves efficient oxidation of fatty acids
A research team designed and built a photoenzymatic cascade by combining photochemical water oxidation/O2 reduction with P450 peroxygenase catalysis to achieve efficient visible-light-driven oxidation of a range of fatty acids (C12-C20), leading to production of α-alkenes and hydroxyl fatty acids. https://phys.org/news/2024-07-photoenzymatic-synthesis-efficient-oxidation-fatty.html
