OXIDOREDUCTASE FROM PICHIA CAPSULATA

摘要

The invention relates to a NADH-dependent oxidoreductase obtained from yeasts, for example, of the genus Pichia, more particularly from Pichia capsulata. Said oxidoreductase in then used in an enzymatic process for enantioselective reduction of organic ketocompounds to the corresponding (S)-hydroxy compounds and in an enzymatic process for enantioselective preparation of (S)-hydroxy compounds in a two phase system using the isolated, recombinantly overexpressed oxidoreductase from Pichia capsulata.
