Enzyme Classes

Alcohol DehydrogenaseApplication: A broad range of carbonyl compounds (including

aldehydes, aliphatic, aromatic, cyclic ketones, diketones, ketoacetals and ketoesters) can be asymmetrically reduced to their correspond-ing chiral alcohols with high enantioselectivity using these enzymes.

Aldehyde ReductaseApplication: NAD(P) dependent dehydrogenation of primary

alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes and inverse reaction to give primary alcohols.

Esterases/Lipases Application: Enantioselective hydrolysis, synthesis and transesteri-

� cation of esters of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols. Enanti-

oselective synthesis/hydrolysis of amides.

TransaminasesApplication: Asymmetric reductive amination via amino transfer

mechanism, for the synthesis of chiral amines.

Ene ReductaseApplication: Stereoselective reduction of alkenes.

Aldehyde DehydrogenenaseApplication: Aldehyde dehydrogenases catalyse the oxidation of

aldehydes to their corresponding carboxylic acides with NAD+NADP+ as cofactor.

Enzymatic system for Cofactor Recycling

Example Reactions

Asymmetric reduction of ethyl 3-ketobutyrate to ethyl (R)-3-hydroxybu-tyrate. (S)-speci� c ADH for the reduction to the opposite enantiomer is also available.

Asymmetric reduction of 3,3,4,4,4-penta� uorobutanone to (R)-penta� uo-robutan-2-ol. (S)-speci� c ADH for the reduction to the opposite enantio-mer is also available.

Asymmetric reduction of 2-acetylpyridine to (R)-2-(1-hydroxyethyl)pyridine. (S)-speci� c ADH for the reduction to the opposite enantiomer is also available.

Alcohol Dehydrogenases (ADH)For Biocatalytic Ketone Reduction

Application: Stereoselective reduction of ketones to produce enantio-merically-pure alcohols

• Broad range of ketones reduce with high stereo-selectivity

• Both R and S alcohols can be produced

• Yields often near 100% of theoretical

• Mild conditions; few, if any, side product

Examples of structurally diverse ketones:

Products include:

• Tens of di� erent commercially available ketoreductases

• Enzymes sold in convenient screening set for rapid

identi� cation of the best biocatalyst for a desired reduction.

• All enzymes available on commercial scale
