Selective aliphatic carbon-hydrogen bond activation of protected alcohol substrates by cytochrome P450 enzymes.

Protected cyclohexanol and cyclohex-2-enol substrates, containing benzyl ether and benzoate ester moieties, were designed to fit into the active site of the Tyr96Ala mutant of cytochrome P450cam. The protected cyclohexanol substrates were efficiently and selectively hydroxylated by the mutant enzyme...
