Monooxygenases oxidize alkanes, alkenes and aromatic compounds to their alcohols, acids, epoxides and oxygenated aromatic compounds. How the biological system carries out eh oxidation chemistry of these reactions has been a focus of research for several decades. In this paper, four monooxygenase systems which catalyze the epoxidation of alkenes are discussed at enzyme level.
