摘要
Cytochromes P450 can catalyse hydroxylation reactions that are of considerable potential synthetic value, but a number of practical difficulties have hitherto prevented their use for this purpose. Recent advances, including intelligently designed laboratory evolution experiments, promise to overcome these obstacles, and to add P450s to the enzymatic armoury of the chemist.
