Miguel Alcalde - Catalysis

Author Information

Miguel Alcalde is a prominent researcher affiliated with the Department of Biocatalysis at the Institute of Catalysis, CSIC, located in Cantoblanco, Madrid, Spain. His research primarily focuses on enzymatic catalysis, with a particular emphasis on fungal peroxygenases and peroxidases. His work involves the engineering of these enzymes for various applications, including oxyfunctionalization chemistry and the degradation of complex organic compounds.

Research Contributions

Miguel Alcalde has made significant contributions to the field of catalysis, particularly in the engineering and functionalization of fungal enzymes. In 2022 alone, he has published several impactful papers, including work on the engineering of fungal unspecific peroxygenases and the design of stable and functionally diverse versatile peroxidases. His research also explores innovative biocatalytic processes, such as the transformation of ethylbenzene derivatives into enantioenriched phenylethanols and the development of high-throughput screening assays for enzyme engineering. His earlier work in 2021 includes studies on the biocatalytic aromaticity-breaking epoxidation of naphthalene, ether oxidation by evolved fungal heme-peroxygenase, and the functional expression of unusual acidic peroxygenases from Candolleomyces aberdarensis.
