A host–guest approach to combining enzymatic and artificial catalysis for catalyzing biomimetic monooxygenation

Abstract

Combining artificial and natural enzymes is a strategy to mimic biocatalytic processes with high efficiency and selectivity. This study reports a dual catalytic system composed of flavin adenine dinucleotide model and NADH mimics to catalyze the monooxygenation of cyclobutanones and thioethers.
