Abstract
The number of synthetic applications of epoxide hydrolases in organic chemistry has reached a remarkable level. This has been due to a tremendous amount of work dedicated to the discovery of novel epoxide hydrolases from various biological sources, understanding the structure and function of these widespread enzymes and last but not least, the stabilization of these biocatalysts by various means for production purposes.

Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
Chemistry and Biology of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are one of the most abundant natural products and are considered to be extremely important biomolecules for their ever-increasing impact on chemistry and biology. Their role in several important biological processes, notably energy storage, transport, modulation of protein function, intercellular adhesion, malignant transformation, signal transduction, viral, and bacterial cell ...read more
