Oxidation of saturated C−H bonds is a key chemical reaction in synthetic chemistry and chemical industry. Nevertheless, the high bond dissociation energies (BDEs) and weak polarity of C(sp 3)−H bonds, ...
Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids, and most proteins have one or more of the sulfur-containing amino acid methionine. Oxidation of the sulfur atom in methionine is an important ...
