Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis enzyme catalyzes the asymmetric reduction of ketones using cheap reductants, such as ethanol, with high stereoselectivity, but the reaction is too slow to obtain good yields. For developing biotransformations of industrial interest using nicotinoprotein alcohol dehydrogenases, the attention should be focused on enzymes with a higher reactivity towards prochiral ketones and secondary alcohols Rhodococcus erythropolis
