Aníbal Cuetos has made significant contributions to the fields of biocatalysis, asymmetric synthesis, and organic chemistry through various research articles. The researcher has investigated the catalytic and structural characteristics of unspecific peroxygenases expressed in different hosts, revealing insights into their mechanisms and potential applications in biocatalysis. Additionally, studies have elucidated the reactivity of α-fluoroketones with plp-dependent enzymes, demonstrated noncovalent mechanisms for alcohol and alkene transformations, and synthesized primary and secondary β-fluoro-arylamines using reductive aminases from fungi. These findings expand the biocatalytic repertoire of small molecule alkylations, amide bond syntheses, and provide access to complex compounds through novel enzymatic reactions.
