Rational enzyme design for enabling biocatalytic Baldwin cyclization and asymmetric synthesis of chiral heterocycles

Chiral heterocyclic compounds are privileged structures in medicinal chemistry. Here, the authors report an in silico strategy for the enzymatic synthesis of pharmaceutically significant chiral N- and O-heterocycles via Baldwin cyclization of hydroxy- and amino-substituted epoxides and oxetanes usin...
