Stereoselective C-C bond formation catalysed by engineered carboxymethylproline synthases.

The reaction of enol(ate)s with electrophiles is used extensively in organic synthesis for stereoselective C-C bond formation. Protein-based catalysts have had comparatively limited application for the stereoselective formation of C-C bonds of choice via enolate chemistry. We describe protein engine...
