Stereoselective Reduction of Ethyl 4-Chloro-3-Oxobutanoate by a Microbial Aldehyde Reductase in an Organic Solvent-Water Diphasic System.

abstract：:ω-Transaminase (ω-TA) is a promising enzyme for use in the production of unnatural amino acids from keto acids using cheap amino donors such as isopropylamine. The small substrate-binding pocket of most ω-TAs permits entry of substituents no larger than an ethyl group, which presents a significant challenge to the pre...
