Abstract The role of metalloenzymes in important biological transformations has attracted increasing attention over the past several decades. Of many chemical mediated by enzymes, few are as challenging multielectron redox reactions. Recent studies have revealed a partial structural and mechanistic description these redox‐active metalloenzymes, but there is much still to be learned regarding mechanisms substrate transformation. Due complexity metalloenzyme systems, simplified model systems...

The nicotinamide coenzymes consumed in alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzed enantioselective reduction of ketones are expensive and thus require recycling. We have demonstrated that ruthenium(II) rhodium(III) complexes effective catalysts for the with hydrogen, under conditions appropriate situ coupling enzymatic reductions.
Abstract Die Rolle von Metalloenzymen in wichtigen biologischen Prozessen hat den letzten Jahrzehnten zunehmend Beachtung gefunden. Von vielen chemischen Reaktionen, die durch Enzyme gesteuert werden, sind nur wenige eine so große Herausforderung wie Mehrelektronen‐Redoxreaktionen. In neueren Untersuchungen ist es gelungen, einige strukturelle und mechanistische Merkmale derartig redoxaktiver Metalloenzyme aufzuklären, doch im Hinblick auf Mechanismus der Substratumwandlung tappt man...
