| Résumé: | The chemical processes for the selective incorporation of deuterium into small molecules, of interest to organic and medicinal chemistry, are well established, while the enzymatic methods remain underdeveloped. Here, the authors use an enzymatic approach employing Chlorella variabilis NC64A photodecarboxylase that catalyses decarboxylative deuteration of various carboxylic acids with D2O, and identify enzyme variants that can employ substrates with different chain length acids. |
