There are many mononuclear iron containing enzymes in nature that
utilize molecular oxygen and transfer one or both oxygen atoms of
O2 to substrates. These enzymes catalyze many processes including
the biosynthesis of hormones, the metabolism of drugs, DNA and RNA
base repair and, the biosynthesis of antibiotics. Therefore,
mononuclear iron containing enzymes are important intermediates in
bioprocesses and have great potential in the commercial
biosynthesis of specific products since they often catalyze
reactions regioselectively or stereospecifically. Understanding
their mechanism and function is important and will assist in
searches for commercial exploitation. In recent years, advances in
experimental as well as theoretical methodologies have made it
possible to study the mechanism and function of these enzymes and
much information on their properties has been gained. This book
highlighting recent developments in the field is, therefore, a
timely addition to the literature and will interest a broad
readership in the fields of biochemistry, inorganic chemistry and
computational chemistry. The Editors, leaders in the field of
nonheme and heme iron containing monoxygenases, have filled the
book with topical review chapters by leaders in the various
sub-disciplines.
