Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Monopoly (Baeyer Villiger Monooxygenases as Biocatalytic Parts for Monomers of New Lactone-based Polymeric Materials)

Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs) are flavoenzymes and belong to the class of oxidoreductases. They catalyse the oxidation of linear, cyclic and aromatic ketones to the corresponding esters or lactones, highly similar to the chemical Baeyer-Villiger oxidation. During the...
