The definite interest in implementing sustainable industrial technologies has impelled the
use of biocatalysts (enzymes or cells), leading to high chemo‐, regio‐and stereoselectivities …

An NADH-dependent reductase (ScCR) from Streptomyces coelicolor was discovered by
genome mining for carbonyl reductases. ScCR was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 …

Background Pichia pastoris has been recognized as an effective host for recombinant
protein production. A number of studies have been reported for improving this expression …

Asymmetric reduction of ketones with recombinant E. coli whole cells in neat substrates -
Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C1CC14097C Royal Society of …

Background As a widely used broad-spectrum antibiotic, chloramphenicol is prone to be
released into environments, thus resulting in the disturbance of ecosystem stability as well …

In this contribution, we report the first successful baker's yeast reduction of arylpropanones
using deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as biodegradable and non‐hazardous co‐solvents …

We characterized the activity and stereospecificity of four secondary alcohol
dehydrogenases (sADHs) towards acetoin reduction and constructed synthetic pathways in …

The enantiomers of chiral pesticides are often metabolized at different rates. In agriculture,
the preferred chiral form of a pesticide is more effective at lower application rates or more …

Access to chiral alcohols of high optical purity is today frequently provided by the enzymatic
reduction of precursor ketones. However, bioreductions are complicated by the need for …

Quasi-irreversible oxidation of sec-alcohols was achieved via biocatalytic hydrogen transfer
reactions using alcohol dehydrogenases employing selected ketones as hydrogen …
