Selective oxyfunctionalisation reactions driven by sulfite oxidase‐catalysed in situ generation of H2O2

TL;DR: The application of (modified) sulfite oxidases to couple the oxidation of sulfites to the reduction of oxygen enables us to use calcium sulfite, an industrial waste product from scrubbing flue gases, as an electron donor to reduce oxygen.
