The cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s or CYPs) form a ubiquitous family of heme proteins able to catalyze the monooxygenation of a wide range of substrates. P450s are of considerable interest in synthetic organic chemistry because of their impressive ability to catalyze the insertion of oxygen into nonactivated CÀH bonds. This useful reaction in organic chemistry has received much attention over several decades, but still remains a significant challenge. Some metal catalysts have been successfully used [1] and biomimetic non-heme iron catalysts have been developed,[2] but the regio-and/or stereoselectivity usually remains poor. Biocatalysts such as P450 enzymes represent a promising alternative.[3] One limitation to the use of P450s in synthesis is the need for a complex system of cofactors including NADPH and a redox partner such as cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) or a ferrodoxin/ferredoxin reductase system. A number of groups have attempted to overcome this drawback. Electrochemical methods,[4] cobaltocene,[5] and cobaltACHTUNGTRENNUNG (III) sepulchrate,[6] have all been used to ACHTUNGTRENNUNGreplace the cofactors, albeit with limited success or applicability. Although many P450 enzymes are also known to accept peroxides or aqueous hydrogen peroxide as a source of oxygen (shunt pathway),[7] this pathway is generally not efficient. Some mutants of P450BM-3 have been engineered by directed evolution to efficiently use hydrogen peroxide in the absence of cofactors.[8] A heme-domain mutant of P450BM-3 has been engineered to catalyze regio-and stereoselective oxidations in the presence of hydrogen peroxide instead of its natural cofactors.[9] The initial reaction rates were, however, significantly lower than those observed with the wild-type enzyme under natural conditions (NADPH). Moreover, this enzyme is naturally very specific for fatty acids and must be mutated to accept any new substrates.[10]
