Computational mechanistic investigation of the kinetic resolution of α-methyl-phenylacetaldehyde by norcoclaurine synthase

Abstract Norcoclaurine synthase from Thalictrum flavum (TfNCS) demonstrated high stereospecificity and yield in catalyzing the Pictet-Spengler reaction of dopamine with chiral aldehydes, achieving kinetic resolution of aldehydes. However, the mechanism and the factors contributing to the stereoselec...
