Abstract

A minimal enriched P450 BM3 library was screened for the ability to oxidize inert cyclic and acyclic alkanes. The F87A/A328V mutant was found to effectively hydroxylate cyclooctane, cyclodecane and cyclododecane. F87V/A328F with high activity towards cyclooctane hydroxylated acyclic n-octane to 2-(R)-octanol (46% ee) with high regioselectivity (92%).
