Session 5: Teaching old dogs new tricks: Novel catalytic reactions mediated by P450 enzymes
Monday, July 25, 2016: 8:00 AM-11:30 AM
Grand Couteau, 5th Fl (Sheraton New Orleans)
Co-conveners:
Ellen Neidle - University of Georgia and Rudi Fasan - University of Rochester
The cytochrome P450 enzyme superfamily exhibits remarkable versatility in function, substrate range, and catalytic breadth. The wide variety of regiospecific and stereospecific oxidation reactions that can be catalyzed under mild conditions makes these enzymes ideal for biotechnology applications. However, the exciting potential of exploiting cytochrome P450 enzymes for industrial purposes has yet to be fully realized. This session addresses novel approaches for the modification, design, and characterization of enzymes belonging to this diverse superfamily.
