REDUCTASE, GENE THEREOF AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME

摘要

It is intended to provide: a protein which can asymmetrically reduce an ortho-substituted phenylglyoxalic acid compound to thereby produce an optically active ortho-substituted mandelic acid compound at a high optical yield; a DNA encoding this protein; a method of producing the above-described protein from this DNA; a method whereby an ortho-substituted phenylglyoxalic acid compound is asymmetrically reduced by using the above-described protein to thereby produce an optically active ortho-substituted mandelic acid compound corresponding thereto; and so on.
