Description
Summary:	The Front Cover shows enzymatic cascades for the valorisation of fatty acids with peroxygenase‐catalysed hydroxylation as key step. Functionalisation of fatty acids generally relies on pre‐existing functional groups such as C=C‐double bonds. In their Research Article, F. Hollmann and co‐workers demonstrated the synthetic potential of a peroxygenase mutant AaeUPO for selective fatty acid oxyfunctionalisation. The primary products (i.e., hydroxy fatty acid (esters)) are interesting building blocks for lactone‐ and polyester synthesis. Furthermore, the ω‐1 hydroxy fatty acid (esters) produced were transformed into alcohols, esters and amines via multi‐enzyme cascades thereby paving the way for new fatty acid valorisation pathways. More information can be found in the Research Article by F. Hollmann and co‐workers.
