Enzymes are widely recognized as exquisite catalysts for asymmetric synthesis. Access to a narrow breadth of reactivity, however, limits their expanded use. In this talk, I will discuss our efforts to address this limitation by using light to produce non-natural free radical intermediates selectively within enzyme active sites. Our goal is to address long-standing challenges in the biocatalytic and free radical literature.
