Description

Cyclohexanone Monooxygenase F. Acineto-B Acter Sp., ~5 U/G is a highly specific, biocatalytic enzyme preparation derived from a defined bacterial source. This enzyme is critical for performing selective Baeyer-Villiger oxidations, enabling the synthesis of valuable lactones and esters from ketones under mild, environmentally benign conditions. It is an essential tool for R&D and production chemists in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and fragrance industries seeking to develop greener synthetic pathways and produce chiral intermediates.

Application

• Biocatalytic Synthesis: Key catalyst for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of cyclic and alicyclic ketones to produce lactones.
• Chiral Intermediate Production: Enantioselective synthesis of optically pure lactones and esters for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Production of flavor and fragrance compounds, such as δ-decalactone and ε-caprolactone precursors.
• Green Chemistry & Process Development: Implementation of sustainable, enzymatic oxidation steps to replace traditional chemical oxidants.
• Metabolic Pathway Studies: Used in biochemical research to study bacterial degradation pathways of cyclic compounds.
• Bioremediation Research: Investigation of enzymatic systems for the breakdown of environmental pollutants.

Quality Control

Our enzyme preparations are produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and optimal catalytic performance. Each lot is characterized for specific activity and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing activity (U/g), protein content, and stability are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
