Molecular Origins of Simultaneous Chemo-, Enantio-, and Substrate Selectivity in Non-Natural Photoenzymatic Radical Reactions Selective radical chemistry poses fundamental challenges for modern catalysis. Non-natural photoenzymes, most prominently flavin-dependent “ene”-reductases, have recently emerged as appealing systems ...
