Abstract
The Front CoverJoining the forces of two biological kingdoms: Combining an O-methyltransferase from grape vine with a bacterial decarboxylase allows direct conversion of biobased phenolic acids to O-protected hydroxy-styrene derivates that find application in the manufacture of biobased adhesives. The exquisite selectivity of both enzymes avoids side reactions and allows their direct coupling to an enzyme cascade reaction. More information can be found in the Research Article by A. Schüller, R. Kourist and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cctc.202402027).
期刊介绍:
With an impact factor of 4.495 (2018), ChemCatChem is one of the premier journals in the field of catalysis. The journal provides primary research papers and critical secondary information on heterogeneous, homogeneous and bio- and nanocatalysis. The journal is well placed to strengthen cross-communication within between these communities. Its authors and readers come from academia, the chemical industry, and government laboratories across the world. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies, and is supported by the German Catalysis Society.
