In these reactions, biomolecules replace traditional catalysts, affording high chemo- and enantioselectivity as well as extremely mild conditions. The reactions are abstracted from the general chemical and biological literature, including patents.
Most entries are from the past ten years.
Internationally recognized experts in the field, such as Prof. Bryan Jones and Prof. Herbert Holland, are actively involved in selection and quality assurance of the database.
