## Abstract The transformation properties of different aspergilli were tested. Our strains possess the capacity of degrading of progesterone side chain. Δ^4^‐androstene‐3,17‐dione, testosterone, and testololactone were detected in all cases but produced in different yields. Two strains, namely, __A

## Abstract In this study, the effects of specific chemical modifications of amino acid side‐chains on the __in vitro__ enzyme degradation of type I collagen was studied. Two monofunctional epoxides of different size and chemistry were used to modify lysine and methylglyoxal was used to modify argi
## Abstract The aerobic side chain degradation of sterols often leads to mixtures of 1,4‐diene and 4‐ene compounds. By an additional anaerobic step a practically complete reverse reaction of the steroid‐1‐dehydrogenation occurs yielding only the corresponding 4‐ene compound.
