Thrilled to share the first paper from our group at UCLA, online today in Science: “Biocatalytic, Asymmetric Radical Hydrogenation of Unactivated Alkenes” @uclachem @ScienceMagazine science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Biocatalytic, asymmetric radical hydrogenation of unactivated alkenes

Alkene hydrogenation is a cornerstone of chemical synthesis, yet enzymatic strategies remain limited to electron-deficient substrates by means of hydride transfer. Using heme enzymes, we unlock a...
