ephedrine dehydrogenase (EDH) exhibits strict selectivity for the oxidation of the diastereomers (R,S)-(-)-ephedrine and (R,R)-(-)-pseudoephedrine. Conversion of all ephedrine isomers required the addition of NAD+ as an oxidant. Without a surplus oxidant or in the presence of NADP+, cell lysates do not significantly convert ephedrine
