Indole-containing acyloins are either key intermediates of many antimicrobial/antiviral natural products or building blocks in the synthesis of biologically active molecules. As such, access to structurally diverse indole-containing acyloins has attracted considerable attention. In this report, we present a pilot

L-Amino acid oxidases (LAAOs) are flavoenzymes that catalytically deaminate L-amino acids to corresponding α-keto acids with the concomitant production of ammonia (NH(3)) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). Particularly, snake venom LAAOs have been attracted much attention due to their diverse clinical
