Playing tricks on enzymes: Direct hydroxylation of benzene to phenol was catalyzed by wild-type P450BM3 in the presence of perfluorinated carboxylic acids as decoy molecules. The catalytic turnover rate reached 120 min−1 per P450. The selectivity towards phenol production was very high and no overoxidation products were detected.
