The oxirane ring of epoxides has been termed the "Lord of chemical rings" because of its high reactivity and interest in chemical syntheses. A heme-thiolate unspecific peroxygenase (UPO) from the fungus Collariella virescens has recently proven to be a suitable catalyst for the selective production of fatty acid (di)epoxides. Here, lipid epoxidation is investigated in the frame of the SusBind EU project (https://susbind.eu) whose objective is the production of sustainable binders for wood-based panels.
