Self‐Sufficient Baeyer–Villiger Monooxygenases: Effective Coenzyme Regeneration for Biooxygenation by Fusion Engineering

Two-in-one biocatalysts were engineered by the covalent fusion of NADPH-dependent Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases to a phosphite dehydrogenase for coenzyme regeneration (see scheme). Not only the purified fusion proteins, but also whole cells and crude cell extracts containing the enzyme conjugates, could be used to catalyze biotransformations with high efficiency.
