A process model for the enzymatic synthesis of (R)-cyanohydrins in an aqueous-organic biphasic-stirred tank reactor was developed. The conversion of benzaldehyde into (R)-mandelonitrile, catalyzed by Prunus amygdalus hydroxynitrile lyase at 5°C and pH 5.5, was chosen as a model s ...
Background: Modular polyketide synthases (PKSs) catalyse the biosynthesis of complex polyketides using a different set of enzymes for each successive cycle of chain extension. Directed biosynthesis starting from synthetic diketides is a potentially valuable route to novel polyket ...
For investigations concerning the selectivity of polyketide synthases (PKSs) which have been rationally engineered through genetic techniques the synthesis of substituted δ-lactones is of great importance. An enantiospecific route towards eight of the possible sixteen stereoisome ...
