ENZYME FOR THE PRODUCTION OF OPTICALLY PURE 3 - QUINUCLIDINOL

摘要

The present invention provides a process for production of optically pure quinuclidinol of formula-(I) by reduction of quinuclidinone of formula-(Il) in presence of suitable oxidoreductase enzyme derived from Saccharomyces species. Formula (II, I) Moreover, the present enzyme works in presence of cofactor NADP where the cofactor is regenerated by suitable system. The present invention also provides a recombinant vector containing genes co expressing suitable polypeptides having oxido-reductase activity and polypeptide having capacity to regenerate the co-factor. The said vector is transformed in suitable host cell.
