OXIDOREDUCTASE FROM PICHIA CAPSULATA

摘要

The invention relates to a NADH-dependent oxidoreductase obtained from yeast s, for example, of the genus Pichia, more particularly from Pichia capsulata. Said oxidoreductase in then used in an enzymatic process for enantioselectiv e reduction of organic ketocompounds to the corresponding (S)-hydroxy compound s 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.
