Abstract: Nine new putative Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase encoding genes were identified in the eukaryote Yarrowia lipolytica and eight were subsequently cloned and expressed. These enzymes, Yarrowia monooxygenases A-H (YMOA-H), were used in biocatalysis reactions with ketones, sulfides… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Two Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs), designated BoBVMO and AmBVMO, were discovered from Bradyrhizobium oligotrophicum and Aeromicrobium marinum, respectively. Both monooxygenases displayed novel features for catalyzing the asymmetric sulfoxidation of bulky and pharmaceutically relevant thioethers. Evolutionary… read more here.
