Stereocontrol of Styrene Monooxygenases: Mechanistic Principles of (R)- and (S)-Selective Epoxidations and Their Implications for Biocatalysis.

Numerous styrene monooxygenases (SMOs) have been identified and extensively applied in the asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes to prepare enantiopure epoxides, which are important intermediates in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. A c…
