This paper demonstrates that heme-dependent tyrosine hydroxylase can efficiently synthesize L-DOPA using ascorbate/O2 instead of H2O2, achieving high conversion rates and stability.

This paper identifies an O2/reductant-dependent catalytic pathway in heme peroxygenases that avoids H2O2-induced inactivation, enabling efficient and sustainable chemical transformations.

This paper engineers Yarrowia lipolytica to produce gastrodin, achieving 13.22 g/L in a fermenter, the highest reported level.

This paper develops a biocatalytic cascade to convert cycloalkanes into aliphatic diamines using microbial consortia, achieving high productivity of 1,6-hexanediamine.
