The aromatic peroxygenase (APO; EC 1.11.2.1) from the agraric basidomycete Marasmius rotula (MroAPO) immobilized at the chitosan-capped gold-nanoparticle-modified glassy carbon electrode displayed a pair of redox peaks with a midpoint potential of -278.5 mV vs. AgCl/AgCl (1 M KCl) for the Fe(2+)/Fe(3+) redox couple of the heme-thiolate-containing protein. MroAPO oxidizes aromatic substrates such as aniline, p-aminophenol, hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol, and paracetamol by means of hydrogen peroxide. The substrate spectrum overlaps with those of cytochrome P450s and plant peroxidases which are relevant in environmental analysis and drug monitoring. In M. rotula peroxygenase-based enzyme electrodes, the signal is generated by the reduction of electrode-active reaction products (e.g., p-benzoquinone and p-quinoneimine) with electro-enzymatic recycling of the analyte. In these enzyme electrodes, the signal reflects the conversion of all substrates thus representing an overall parameter in complex media. The performance of these sensors and their further development are discussed.

Fatty acid peroxygenases have emerged as promising biocatalysts for hydrocarbon biosynthesis due to their ability to perform C-C scission, producing olefins - key building blocks for sustainable materials and fuels. These enzymes operate through non-canonical and complex mechanisms that yield a bifurcated chemoselectivity between hydroxylation and decarboxylation. In this study, we elucidate structural features in P450 decarboxylases that enable the catalysis of unsaturated substrates, expanding the mechanistic pathways for decarboxylation reaction.

The heme enzymes of the cytochrome P450 superfamily (CYPs) catalyse the selective hydroxylation of unactivated C-H bonds in organic molecules. There is great interest in applying these enzymes as biocatalysts with a focus on self-sufficient CYP 'fusion' enzymes, comprising a single polypeptide chain with the electron transfer components joined to the heme domain. Here we elucidate the function of the self-sufficient CYP116B46 fusion enzyme, from the thermophilic bacterium Tepidiphilus thermophilus.

Amine oxidation is an important organic reaction for the production of high-value N-containing compounds. However, it is still challenging to control the reactivity of active N-centered radicals to selectively access N-oxidation products. Herein, this study reports the engineering of cytochrome P450BM3 into multifunctional N-oxidizing enzymes with the assistance of dual-functional small molecules (DFSM) to selectively produce N-oxygenation (i.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces CoNSA-POase, an artificial peroxygenase made from single-atom cobalt supported on polymeric carbon nitrogen, which shows excellent performance in converting aromatic alkanes to ketones.
- Density functional theory indicates that this artificial enzyme operates via a different catalytic mechanism compared to natural peroxygenases.
- The integration of CoNSA-POase with other enzymes in continuous-flow systems enhances the efficient production of chiral alcohols and amines, suggesting potential advancements in enzyme-based applications.

The discovery of unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) completely changed the paradigm of enzyme-based oxyfunctionalization reactions, as these enzymes can transform a wide variety of substrates with a relatively simple reaction mechanism. The fact that UPO can exert both peroxygenative and peroxidative activity in either aromatic or aliphatic carbons, represents a great potential in the production of high value-added products from natural antioxidants. In this work, the flavonoid rutin has been considered as possible substrate for UPO from Agrocybe aegerita, and its peroxygenation or its peroxidation and successive oligomerization have been studied.
