Selective partial oxidations of organic molecules are important in chemis try and biology, and are of substantial commercial significance. A wide range of biochemical systems accomplish such transformations under mild conditions and with high selectivity, as discussed throughout this volume. These systems provide guideposts for the discovery of chemical oxidation systems, termed biomimetic systems. The following chapters examine dif ferent classes of reactions and different groups of redox enzymes. The goal of this chapter is to provide a framework for these various reactions rooted in their thermochemistry. We begin with the thermochemistry of the overall transformations, for instance methane to methanol, then move to discus sions of mechanisms and the thermodynamics of individual reaction steps. A key issue is how the kinetics of a reaction step are affected by its thermodynamic driving force. The primary focus will be on reactions that involve transfer of a hydrogen atom.
