Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-Linked Enzyme Aggregates: A Simple and Effective Method for the Immobilization of Penicillin Acylase
TL;DR: Penicillin G acylase CLEAs had the same activity in the synthesis of ampicillin as cross-linked crystals of the same enzyme, but the accompanying hydrolysis of the side-chain donor was much less.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzymatic hydrocyanation of a sterically hindered aldehyde. Optimization of a chemoenzymatic procedure for (R)-2-chloromandelic acid
TL;DR: The asymmetric synthesis of (R)-o-chloromandelic acid, a key intermediate for the anti-thrombotic agent clopidogrel, via the almond meal catalyzed hydrocyanation of 2-chlorobenzaldehyde and subsequent acidic hydrolysis was developed into an industrially viable procedure as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facile enzymatic aldol reactions with dihydroxyacetone in the presence of arsenate.
TL;DR: Insight is given, for the first time, in the influence of arsenate on the stereoselectivity of the aldol reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stereoretentive Nitrile Hydratase-Catalysed Hydration of d-Phenylglycine Nitrile
TL;DR: The hydration of d-phenylglycine Nitrile to the corresponding amide, mediated by nitrile hydratase-containing microorganisms, was studied and batch and fed-batch reactions were compared with regard to degradation and racemisation of the chemically labile substrate.
