Baeyer-Villiger Monooxygenases (BVMOs) are flavin-dependent enzymes catalyzing the oxidative rearrangement of ketones to esters or lactones using molecular oxygen and NAD(P)H. These biocatalysts enable sustainable synthesis with high regio- and stereoselectivity, avoiding toxic peroxides.
Enzymes require strict temperature control (typically 20–40°C) and anaerobic storage conditions to maintain activity. Avoid exposure to strong oxidizing agents; personal protective equipment is mandatory during industrial handling due to potential allergenicity.
