METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING OPTICALLY ACTIVE CYANOHYDRIN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing an optically active cyanohydrin using an immobilized enzyme where S-hydroxynitrile lyase is immobilized in high adsorption rate onto an immobilizing support, and to provide a method for producing the above immobilized enzyme. SOLUTION: This optically active cyanohydrin is obtained using an immobilized enzyme which is characterized by that S-hydroxynitrile lyase is immobilized onto a support of porous inorganic material.
