Engineering a Highly meta -Selective Biphenyl Monooxygenase for the Biosynthesis of High-Value Polymer Precursors

Abstract The meta-selective C–H functionalization of aromatic substrates lacking meta-directing electron-withdrawing groups remains challenging. To engineer the regioselective enzymatic conversion of biphenyl (BP) to 3,3′-dihydroxybiphenyl (33DHBP), an industrial precursor to hig...
