Semi-rational engineering an aldo–keto reductase for stereocomplementary reduction of α-keto amide compounds

Abstract Enantio-pure α-hydroxy amides are valuable intermediates for the synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals. The asymmetric reduction of α-keto amides to generate chiral α-hydroxy amides is a difficult and challenging task in biocatalysis. In this study, iolS, an aldo–keto reductase from Bacillus...
