Redesign of a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase for asymmetric synthesis of ethyl (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoate based on per-residue free energy decomposition and sequence conservatism analysis

As an important building block for the synthesis of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, ethyl (R)-2-hydroxyl-4-phenylbutanoate [(R)-HPBE] has attracted increasing attention. The key to industrial biosynthesis of (R)-HPBE is a biocatalyst that efficiently reduces ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutanoate (...
