oxidereductase

Reactions proceeding at ambient temperature very promptly and selectively, as it occurs in live organisms, imitation of the wildlife processes, and, eventually, study of mechanism of enzymes action are important challenges of contemporary chemistry. This short review gives information on recent achievements in the field of enzymatic catalysis of oxidation of hydrocarbons. The literature material was gathered using the Thomson Reuters electronic database (Web of Science) and mostly covers the last decades.
