The invention provides the use of enzymes derived from plants in biocatalysis. The regio- and stercoselective introduction of an oxygen group into an unactivated organic compound is still a largely unresolved challenge to organic chemistry (Faber, 2000). We have shown that enzymes of Asteraceae species are capable of converting with high regio- and stereospecificity for example sesquiterpene olefins to commercially interesting products.
本发明提供了植物来源酶在
生物催化中的应用。将氧基引入未活化有机化合物中的区域和立体选择性仍然是有机
化学中一个基本未解决的挑战(Faber,2000)。我们已经证明,菊科物种的酶能够高度区域和立体特异性地将
倍半萜烯烃等转化为商业上有趣的产物。
