TL;DR: Highly enantioenriched mixed benzoins are obtained selectively through a biocatalytical cross-coupling reaction of aromatic aldehydes using ThDP-dependent enzymes.

TL;DR: A new enzyme tool comprising a vast applicability for stereoselective synthesis and a simple way to increase the enantiomeric excess of (S)-2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propanone from 90% to 95% by skillful choice of the reaction parameters is presented.

TL;DR: Comparison of the X-ray structures of both enzymes identified two residues in each that were likely to be involved in determining substrate specificity that proved to be a real chimera between PDC and BFD and provided the most interesting result with an almost complete reversal of the stereochemistry of its 2-hydroxypropiophenone product.

TL;DR: PET‐hydrolase active strains produced clearing zones and led to the release of the 3PET hydrolysis products terephthalic acid (TA), benzoic Acid (BA), 2‐Hydroxyethyl benzoate (HEB), and mono‐(2‐hydroxyethyl) terecularate (MHET) in 3PET supplemented liquid cultures.

TL;DR: In this article, the detergency of detergents and cleaners was improved by adding a protease from a bacterium of the genus Xanthomonas, which was used to improve the detergent detergence.
