Abstract
Enzymes are essential catalysts for various chemical reactions in biological systems and often rely on metal ions or cofactors to stabilize their structure or perform functions. Improving enzyme performance has always been an important direction of protein engineering. In recent years, various artificial small molecules have been successfully used in enzyme engineering. The types of enzymatic reactions and metabolic pathways in cells can be expanded by the incorporation of these artificial small molecules either as cofactors or as building blocks of proteins and nucleic acids, which greatly promotes the development and application of biotechnology. In this review, we summarized research on artificial small molecules including biological metal cluster mimics, coenzyme analogs (mNADs), designer cofactors, non-natural nucleotides (XNAs), and non-natural amino acids (nnAAs), focusing on their design, synthesis, and applications as well as the current challenges in synthetic biology.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) have attracted much promise as biocatalysts in a push for cleaner and more environmentally friendly catalytic systems. However, changing the substrate specificity of CYPs, such as CYP102A1, can be a challenging task, requiring laborious mutagenesis. An alternative approach is the use of decoy molecules that "trick" the enzyme into becoming active by impersonating the native substrate. Whilst the decoy molecule system has been extensively developed for CYP102A1, its general applicability for other CYP102-family enzymes has yet to be shown. Herein, we demonstrate that decoy molecules can "trick" CYP102A5 and A7 into becoming active and hydroxylating non-native substrates. Furthermore, significant differences in decoy molecule selectivity as well as decoy molecule binding were observed. The X-ray crystal structure of the CYP102A5 haem domain was solved at 2.8 Å, delivering insight into a potential substate-binding site that differs significantly from CYP102A1.

Abstract
Catching the structure of cytochrome P450 enzymes in flagrante is crucial for the development of P450 biocatalysts, as most structures collected are found trapped in a precatalytic conformation. At the heart of P450 catalysis lies Cpd I, a short-lived, highly reactive intermediate, whose recalcitrant nature has thwarted most attempts at capturing catalytically relevant poses of P450s. We report the crystal structure of P450BM3 mimicking the state in the precise moment preceding epoxidation, which is in perfect agreement with the experimentally observed stereoselectivity. This structure was attained by incorporation of the stable Cpd I mimic oxomolybdenum mesoporphyrin IX into P450BM3 in the presence of styrene. The orientation of styrene to the Mo-oxo species in the crystal structures sheds light onto the dynamics involved in the rotation of styrene to present its vinyl group to Cpd I. This method serves as a powerful tool for predicting and modelling the stereoselectivity of P450 reactions.

Abstract
Unspecific peroxygenases (UPOs) have emerged as valuable tools for the oxygenation of non-activated carbon atoms, as they exhibit high turnovers, good stability and depend only on hydrogen peroxide as the external oxidant for activity. However, the isolation of UPOs from their natural fungal sources remains a barrier to wider application. We have cloned the gene encoding an 'artificial' peroxygenase (artUPO), close in sequence to the 'short' UPO from Marasmius rotula (MroUPO), and expressed it in both the yeast Pichia pastoris and E. coli to compare the catalytic and structural characteristics of the enzymes produced in each system. Catalytic efficiency for the UPO substrate 5-nitro-1,3-benzodioxole (NBD) was largely the same for both enzymes, and the structures also revealed few differences apart from the expected glycosylation of the yeast enzyme. However, the glycosylated enzyme displayed greater stability, as determined by nano differential scanning fluorimetry (nano-DSF) measurements. Interestingly, while artUPO hydroxylated ethylbenzene derivatives to give the (R)-alcohols, also given by a variant of the 'long' UPO from Agrocybe aegerita (AaeUPO), it gave the opposite (S)-series of sulfoxide products from a range of sulfide substrates, broadening the scope for application of the enzymes. The structures of artUPO reveal substantial differences to that of AaeUPO, and provide a platform for investigating the distinctive activity of this and related'short' UPOs.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450s are heme-containing enzymes capable of the oxidative transformation of a wide range of organic substrates. A protein scaffold that coordinates the heme iron, and the catalytic pocket residues, together, determine the reaction selectivity and regio- and stereo-selectivity of the P450 enzymes. Different substrates also affect the properties of P450s by binding to its catalytic pocket. Modulating the redox potential of the heme by substituting iron-coordinating residues changes the chemical reaction, the type of cofactor requirement, and the stereoselectivity of P450s. Around hundreds of P450s are experimentally characterized, therefore, a mechanistic understanding of the factors affecting their catalysis is increasingly vital in the age of synthetic biology and biotechnology. Engineering P450s can enable them to catalyze a variety of chemical reactions viz. oxygenation, peroxygenation, cyclopropanation, epoxidation, nitration, etc., to synthesize high-value chiral organic molecules with exceptionally high stereo- and regioselectivity and catalytic efficiency. This review will focus on recent studies of the mechanistic understandings of the modulation of heme redox potential in the engineered P450 variants, and the effect of small decoy molecules, dual function small molecules, and substrate mimetics on the type of chemical reaction and the catalytic cycle of the P450 enzymes.

Abstract
Cyclic amines are ubiquitous structural motifs found in pharmaceuticals and biologically active natural products, making methods for their elaboration via direct C-H functionalization of considerable synthetic value. Herein, we report the development of an iron-based biocatalytic strategy for enantioselective α-C-H functionalization of pyrrolidines and other saturated N-heterocycles via a carbene transfer reaction with diazoacetone. Currently unreported for organometallic catalysts, this transformation can be accomplished in high yields, high catalytic activity, and high stereoselectivity (up to 99:1 e.r. and 20,350 TON) using engineered variants of cytochrome P450 CYP119 from Sulfolobus solfataricus. This methodology was further extended to enable enantioselective α-C-H functionalization in the presence of ethyl diazoacetate as carbene donor (up to 96:4 e.r. and 18,270 TON), and the two strategies were combined to achieve a one-pot as well as a tandem dual C-H functionalization of a cyclic amine substrate with enzyme-controlled diastereo- and enantiodivergent selectivity. This biocatalytic approach is amenable to gram-scale synthesis and can be applied to drug scaffolds for late-stage C-H functionalization. This work provides an efficient and tunable method for direct asymmetric α-C-H functionalization of saturated N-heterocycles, which should offer new opportunities for the synthesis, discovery, and optimization of bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Background Unlike most other P450 cytochrome monooxygenases, CYP102A1 from Bacillus megaterium (BM3) is both soluble and fused to its redox partner forming a single polypeptide chain. Like other monooxygenases, it can catalyze the insertion of oxygen unto the carbon-hydrogen bond which can result in a wide variety of commercially relevant products for pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. However, the instability of the enzyme holds back the implementation of a BM3-based biocatalytic industrial processes due to the important enzyme cost it would prompt. Results In this work, we sought to enhance BM3’s total specific product output by using experimental evolution, an approach not yet reported to improve this enzyme. By exploiting B. megaterium’s own oleic acid metabolism, we pressed the evolution of a new variant of BM3, harbouring 34 new amino acid substitutions. The resulting variant, dubbed DE, increased the conversion of the substrate 10-pNCA to its product p-nitrophenolate 1.23 and 1.76-fold when using respectively NADPH or NADH as a cofactor, compared to wild type BM3. Conclusions This new DE variant, showed increased organic cosolvent tolerance, increased product output and increased versatility in the use of either nicotinamide cofactors NADPH and NADH. Experimental evolution can be used to evolve or to create libraries of evolved BM3 variants with increased productivity and cosolvent tolerance. Such libraries could in turn be used in bioinformatics to further evolve BM3 more precisely. The experimental evolution results also supports the hypothesis which surmises that one of the roles of BM3 in Bacillus megaterium is to protect it from exogenous unsaturated fatty acids by breaking them down.

Abstract
C-H oxyfunctionalisation remains a distinct challenge for synthetic organic chemists. Oxygenases and peroxygenases (grouped here as "oxygenating biocatalysts") catalyse the oxidation of a substrate with molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. The application of oxygenating biocatalysts in organic synthesis has dramatically increased over the last decade, producing complex compounds with potential uses in the pharmaceutical industry. This review will focus on hydroxyl functionalisation using oxygenating biocatalysts as a tool for drug discovery and development. Established oxygenating biocatalysts, such as cytochrome P450s and flavin-dependent monooxygenases, have widely been adopted for this purpose, but can suffer from low activity, instability or limited substrate scope. Therefore, emerging oxygenating biocatalysts which offer an alternative will also be covered, as well as considering the ways in which these hydroxylation biotransformations can be applied in drug discovery and development, such as late-stage functionalisation (LSF) and in biocatalytic cascades.

[PMID: 35326179 PMCID: PMC8944620 DOI: 10.3390/antiox11030529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2022] [Revised: 03/06/2022] [Accepted: 03/07/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are promising versatile oxidative biocatalysts. However, the practical use of P450s in vitro is limited by their dependence on the co-enzyme NAD(P)H and the complex electron transport system. Using H2O2 simplifies the catalytic cycle of P450s; however, most P450s are inactive in the presence of H2O2. By mimicking the molecular structure and catalytic mechanism of natural peroxygenases and peroxidases, an artificial P450 peroxygenase system has been designed with the assistance of a dual-functional small molecule (DFSM). DFSMs, such as N-(ω-imidazolyl fatty acyl)-l-amino acids, use an acyl amino acid as an anchoring group to bind the enzyme, and the imidazolyl group at the other end functions as a general acid-base catalyst in the activation of H2O2. In combination with protein engineering, the DFSM-facilitated P450 peroxygenase system has been used in various oxidation reactions of non-native substrates, such as alkene epoxidation, thioanisole sulfoxidation, and alkanes and aromatic hydroxylation, which showed unique activities and selectivity. Moreover, the DFSM-facilitated P450 peroxygenase system can switch to the peroxidase mode by mechanism-guided protein engineering. In this short review, the design, mechanism, evolution, application, and perspective of these novel non-natural P450 peroxygenases for the oxidation of non-native substrates are discussed.

Abstract
We report an OmpF loop deletion mutant, which improves the cellular uptake of external additives into an Escherichia coli whole-cell biocatalyst. Through co-expression of the OmpF mutant with wild-type P450BM3 in the presence of decoy molecules, the yield of the whole-cell biotransformation of benzene could be considerably improved. Notably, with C7AM-Pip-Phe the yield duodecupled from 5.7% to 70%, with 80% phenol selectivity. The benzylic hydroxylation of alkyl- and cycloalkylbenzenes was also examined, and with the aid of decoy molecules, propylbenzene and tetralin were converted to 1-hydroxylated products with 78% yield and 94% ( R ) ee for propylbenzene and 92% yield and 94% ( S ) ee for tetralin. Our results suggest that both the decoy molecule and substrate traverse the artificial channel, synergistically boosting whole-cell bioconversions.

Abstract
CYP102A1 (BM3) is a catalytically self-sufficient flavocytochrome fusion protein isolated from Bacillus megaterium, which displays similar metabolic capabilities to many drug-metabolizing human P450 isoforms. BM3's high catalytic efficiency, ease of production and malleable active site makes the enzyme a desirable tool in the production of small molecule metabolites, especially for compounds that exhibit drug-like chemical properties. The engineering of select key residues within the BM3 active site vastly expands the catalytic repertoire, generating variants which can perform a range of modifications. This provides an attractive alternative route to the production of valuable compounds that are often laborious to synthesize via traditional organic means. Extensive studies have been conducted with the aim of engineering BM3 to expand metabolite production towards a comprehensive range of drug-like compounds, with many key examples found both in the literature and in the wider industrial bioproduction setting of desirable oxy-metabolite production by both wild-type BM3 and related variants. This review covers the past and current research on the engineering of BM3 to produce drug metabolites and highlights its crucial role in the future of biosynthetic pharmaceutical production.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s, CYPs) catalyze the oxidative transformation of a wide range of organic substrates. Their functions are crucial to xenobiotic metabolism and steroid transformation in humans and other organisms. The enzymes are promising for synthetic biology applications but limited by several drawbacks including low turnover rates, poor stability, the dependance of expensive cofactors and redox partners, and the narrow substrate scope. To conquer these obstacles, emerging strategies including substrate engineering, usage of decoy and decoy-based small molecules auxiliaries, designing of artificial enzyme cascades and the incorporation of materials have been explored based on the unique properties of P450s. These strategies can be applied to a wide range of P450s and can be combined with protein engineering to improve the enzymatic activities. This minireview will focus on some recent developments of these strategies which have been used to leverage P450 catalysis. Remaining challenges and future opportunities will also be discussed.

Abstract
Copper(i) complexes [Cu(L1-7)2](ClO4) (1-7) of bidentate ligands (L1-L7) have been synthesized via spontaneous reduction and characterized as catalysts for aromatic C-H activation using H2O2 as the oxidant. The single crystal X-ray structure of 1 exhibited a distorted tetrahedral geometry. All the copper(i) complexes catalyzed direct hydroxylation of benzene to form phenol with good selectivity up to 98%. The determined kinetic isotope effect (KIE) values, 1.69-1.71, support the involvement of a radical type mechanism. The isotope-labeling experiments using H218O2 showed 92% incorporation of 18O into phenol and confirm that H2O2 is the key oxygen supplier. Overall, the catalytic efficiencies of the complexes are strongly influenced by the electronic and steric factor of the ligand, which is fine-tuned by the ligand architecture. The benzene hydroxylation reaction possibly proceeded via a radical mechanism, which was confirmed by the addition of radical scavengers (TEMPO) to the catalytic reaction that showed a reduction in phenol formation.

Abstract
We report the enhanced cis- and enantioselective cyclopropanation of styrene catalysed by cytochrome P450BM3 in the presence of dummy substrates, i.e. decoy molecules. With the aid of the decoy molecule R-Ibu-Phe, diastereoselectivity for the cis diastereomers reached 91%, and the enantiomeric ratio for the (1S,2R) isomer reached 94%. Molecular dynamics simulations underpin the experimental data, revealing the mechanism of how enantioselectivity is controlled by the addition of decoy molecules.

Abstract
Cytochromes P450 have been recently identified as a promising class of biocatalysts for mediating C-H aminations via nitrene transfer, a valuable transformation for forging new C-N bonds. The catalytic efficiency of P450s in these non-native transformations is however significantly inferior to that exhibited by these enzymes in their native monooxygenase function. Using a mechanism-guided strategy, we report here the rational design of a series of P450BM3-based variants with dramatically enhanced C-H amination activity acquired through disruption of the native proton relay network and other highly conserved structural elements within this class of enzymes. This approach further guided the identification of XplA and BezE, two "atypical" natural P450s implicated in the degradation of a man-made explosive and in benzastatins biosynthesis, respectively, as very efficient C-H aminases. Both XplA and BezE could be engineered to further improve their C-H amination reactivity, which demonstrates their evolvability for abiological reactions. These engineered and natural P450 catalysts can promote the intramolecular C-H amination of arylsulfonyl azides with over 10 000-14 000 catalytic turnovers, ranking among the most efficient nitrene transfer biocatalysts reported to date. Mechanistic and structure-reactivity studies provide insights into the origin of the C-H amination reactivity enhancement and highlight the divergent structural requirements inherent to supporting C-H amination versus C-H monooxygenation reactivity within this class of enzymes. Overall, this work provides new promising scaffolds for the development of nitrene transferases and demonstrates the value of mechanism-driven rational design as a strategy for improving the catalytic efficiency of metalloenzymes in the context of abiological transformations.

Abstract
Despite CYP102A1 (P450BM3) representing one of the most extensively researched metalloenzymes, crystallisation of its haem domain upon modification can be a challenge. Crystal structures are indispensable for the efficient structure-based design of P450BM3 as a biocatalyst. The abietane diterpenoid derivative N-abietoyl-l-tryptophan (AbiATrp) is an outstanding crystallisation accelerator for the wild-type P450BM3 haem domain, with visible crystals forming within 2 hours and diffracting to a near-atomic resolution of 1.22 Å. Using these crystals as seeds in a cross-microseeding approach, an assortment of P450BM3 haem domain crystal structures, containing previously uncrystallisable decoy molecules and diverse artificial metalloporphyrins binding various ligand molecules, as well as heavily tagged haem-domain variants, could be determined. Some of the structures reported herein could be used as models of different stages of the P450BM3 catalytic cycle.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) are broadly distributed among living organisms and play crucial roles in natural product biosynthesis, degradation of xenobiotics, steroid biosynthesis, and drug metabolism. P450s are considered as the most versatile biocatalysts in nature because of the vast variety of substrate structures and the types of reactions they catalyze. In particular, P450s can catalyze regio- and stereoselective oxidations of nonactivated C-H bonds in complex organic molecules under mild conditions, making P450s useful biocatalysts in the production of commodity pharmaceuticals, fine or bulk chemicals, bioremediation agents, flavors, and fragrances. Major efforts have been made in engineering improved P450 systems that overcome the inherent limitations of the native enzymes. In this review, we focus on recent progress of different strategies, including protein engineering, redox-partner engineering, substrate engineering, electron source engineering, and P450-mediated metabolic engineering, in efforts to more efficiently produce pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. We also discuss future opportunities for engineering and applications of the P450 systems.

Abstract
Bacterial cytochrome P450s (P450s) are at the focus of attention as potential biocatalysts for applications in green synthetic chemistry, as they possess high activity for the hydroxylation of inert substrate C-H bonds. The high activity of bacterial P450s, such as P450BM3, is chiefly due to their high substrate specificity, and consequently, the catalytic activity of P450BM3 toward non-native substrates is very low, limiting the utility of bacterial P450s as biocatalysts. To enable oxidation of non-native substrates by P450BM3 without any mutagenesis, we have developed a series of "decoy molecules", inert dummy substrates, with structures that resemble those of the native substrates. Decoy molecules fool P450BM3 into generating the active species, so-called Compound I, enabling the catalytic oxidation of non-native substrates other than fatty acids. Perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCs) serve as decoy molecules to initiate the activation of molecular oxygen in the same manner as long-alkyl-chain fatty acids, due to their structural similarity, and induce the generation of Compound I, but, unlike the native substrates, PFCs are not oxidizable by Compound I, allowing the hydroxylation of non-native substrates, such as gaseous alkanes and benzene. The catalytic activity for non-native substrate hydroxylation was significantly enhanced by employing second generation decoy molecules, PFCs modified with amino acids (PFC-amino acids). Cocrystals of P450BM3 with PFC9-Trp revealed clear electron density in the fatty-acid-binding channel that was readily assigned to PFC9-Trp. The alkyl chain terminus of PFC9-Trp does not reach the active site owing to multiple hydrogen bonding interactions between the carboxyl and carbonyl groups of PFC9-Trp and amino acids located at the entrance of the substrate binding channel of P450BM3 that fix it in place. The remaining space above the heme after binding of PFC9-Trp can be utilized to accommodate non-native substrates. Further developments revealed that third generation decoy molecules, N-acyl amino acids, such as pelargonoyl-l-phenylalanine (C9-Phe), can serve as decoy molecules, indicating that the rationale "fluorination is required for decoy molecule function" can be safely discarded. Diverse carboxylic acids including dipeptides could now be exploited as building blocks, and a library of decoy molecules possessing diverse structures was prepared. Among the third-generation decoy molecules examined N-enanthyl-l-proline modified with l-phenylalanine (C7-Pro-Phe) afforded the maximum turnover rate for benzene hydroxylation. The structural diversity of third-generation decoy molecules was also utilized to control the stereoselectivity of hydroxylation for the benzylic hydroxylation of Indane, showing that decoy molecules can alter stereoselectivity. As both the catalytic activity and enantioselectivity are dependent upon the structure of the decoy molecules, their design allows us to regulate reactions catalyzed by wild-type enzymes. Furthermore, decoy molecules can also activate intracellular P450BM3, allowing the use of E. coli expressing wild-type P450BM3 as an efficient whole-cell bioreactor. It should be noted that Mn-substituted full-length P450BM3 (Mn-P450BM3) is also active for the hydroxylation of propane in which the regioselectivity diverged from that of Fe-P450BM3. The results summarized in this Account represent good examples of how the reactive properties of P450BM3 can be controlled for the monooxygenation of non-native substrates in vitro as well as in vivo to expand the potential of P450BM3.

Abstract
Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) catalyze the monooxygenation of various organic substrates. These enzymes are fascinating and promising biocatalysts for synthetic applications. Despite the impressive abilities of P450s in the oxidation of C-H bonds, their practical applications are restricted by intrinsic drawbacks, such as poor stability, low turnover rates, the need for expensive cofactors (e.g., NAD(P)H), and the narrow scope of useful non-native substrates. These issues may be overcome through the general strategy of protein engineering, which focuses on the improvement of the catalysts themselves. Alternatively, several emerging strategies have been developed that regulate the P450 catalytic process from the viewpoint of the substrate. These strategies include substrate engineering, decoy molecule, and dual-functional small-molecule co-catalysis. Substrate engineering focuses on improving the substrate acceptance and reaction selectivity by means of an anchoring group. The latter two strategies utilize co-substrate-like small molecules that either are proposed to reform the active site, thereby switching the substrate specificity, or directly participate in the catalytic process, thereby creating new catalytic peroxygenation capabilities towards non-native substrates. For at least 10 years, these approaches have played unique roles in solving the problems highlighted above, either alone or in conjunction with protein engineering. Herein, we review three strategies for substrate regulation in the P450-catalyzed oxidation of non-native substrates. Furthermore, we address remaining challenges and potential solutions associated with these approaches.

Abstract
The direct enantioselective addition of water to unactivated alkenes could simplify the synthesis of chiral alcohols and solve a long-standing challenge in catalysis. Here we report that an engineered fatty acid hydratase can catalyze the asymmetric hydration of various terminal and internal alkenes. In the presence of a carboxylic acid decoy molecule for activation of the oleate hydratase from E. meningoseptica, asymmetric hydration of unactivated alkenes was achieved with up to 93 % conversion, excellent selectivity (>99 % ee, >95 % regioselectivity), and on a preparative scale.

Abstract
Hydroquinone (HQ) is produced commercially from benzene by multi-step Hock-type processes with equivalent amounts of acetone as side-product. We describe an efficient biocatalytic alternative using the cytochrome P450-BM3 monooxygenase. Since the wildtype enzyme does not accept benzene, a semi-rational protein engineering strategy was developed. Highly active mutants were obtained which transform benzene in a one-pot sequence first into phenol and then regioselectively into HQ without any overoxidation. A computational study shows that the chemoselective oxidation of phenol by the P450-BM3 variant A82F/A328F leads to the regioselective formation of an epoxide intermediate at the C3=C4 double bond, which departs from the binding pocket and then undergoes fragmentation in aqueous medium with exclusive formation of HQ. As a practical application, an E. coli designer cell system was constructed, which enables the cascade transformation of benzene into the natural product arbutin, which has anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial activities.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 enzymes are ubiquitous heme-thiolate proteins performing regioselective and stereoselective oxygenation reactions in cellular metabolism. Due to their broad substrate scope and catalytic versatility, P450 enzymes are also attractive candidates for many industrial and biopharmaceutical applications. For particular uses, enzyme properties of P450s can be further optimized through directed evolution, rational, and semi-rational engineering approaches, all of which introduce mutations within the P450 structures. In this review, we describe the recent applications of these P450 engineering approaches and highlight the key regions and residues that have been identified using such approaches. These “hotspots” lie within critical functional areas of the P450 structure, including the active site, the substrate access channel, and the redox partner interaction interface.

Abstract
Hydroxylation of arenes via activation of aromatic Csp2–H bond has attracted great attention for decades but remains a huge challenge. Herein, we achieve the ring hydroxylation of various arenes with stoichiometric hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into the corresponding phenols on a robust heterogeneous catalyst series of V–Si–ZSM-22 (TON type vanadium silicalite zeolites) that is straightforward synthesized from an unusual ionic liquid involved dry-gel-conversion route. For benzene hydroxylation, the phenol yield is 30.8% (selectivity >99%). Ring hydroxylation of mono-/di-alkylbenzenes and halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons cause the yields up to 26.2% and selectivities above 90%. The reaction is completed within 30 s, the fastest occasion so far, resulting in ultra-high turnover frequencies (TOFs). Systematic characterization including 51V NMR and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) analyses suggest that such high activity associates with the unique non-radical hydroxylation mechanism arising from the in situ created diperoxo V(IV) state. Hydroxylation of arenes via activation of aromatic Csp2–H bond remains a challenge. Here, the authors have managed to get various arenes hydroxylated to corresponding phenols using stoichiometric hydrogen peroxide and a series of robust V–Si–ZSM-22 catalysts synthesized via an ionic liquid involved dry-gel-conversion route.

Abstract
Oxidation chemistry using enzymes is approaching maturity and practical applicability in organic synthesis. Oxidoreductases (enzymes catalysing redox reactions) enable chemists to perform highly selective and efficient transformations ranging from simple alcohol oxidations to stereoselective halogenations of non-activated C-H bonds. For many of these reactions, no "classical" chemical counterpart is known. Hence oxidoreductases open up shorter synthesis routes based on a more direct access to the target products. The generally very mild reaction conditions may also reduce the environmental impact of biocatalytic reactions compared to classical counterparts. In this Review, we critically summarise the most important recent developments in the field of biocatalytic oxidation chemistry and identify the most pressing bottlenecks as well as promising solutions.

Abstract
We report a unique strategy for the development of a H2 O2 -dependent cytochrome P450BM3 system, which catalyzes the monooxygenation of non-native substrates with the assistance of dual-functional small molecules (DFSMs), such as N-(ω-imidazolyl fatty acyl)-l-amino acids. The acyl amino acid group of DFSM is responsible for bounding to enzyme as an anchoring group, while the imidazolyl group plays the role of general acid-base catalyst in the activation of H2 O2 . This system affords the best peroxygenase activity for the epoxidation of styrene, sulfoxidation of thioanisole, and hydroxylation of ethylbenzene among those P450-H2 O2 system previously reported. This work provides the first example of the activation of the normally H2 O2 -inert P450s through the introduction of an exogenous small molecule. This approach improves the potential use of P450s in organic synthesis as it avoids the expensive consumption of the reduced nicotinamide cofactor NAD(P)H and its dependent electron transport system. This introduces a promising approach for exploiting enzyme activity and function based on direct chemical intervention in the catalytic process.
