Crotonase catalysis enables flexible production of functionalized prolines and carbapenams.

The biocatalytic versatility of wildtype and engineered carboxymethylproline synthases (CMPSs) is demonstrated by the preparation of functionalized 5-carboxymethylproline derivatives methylated at C-2, C-3, C-4, or C-5 of the proline ring from appropriately substituted amino acid aldehydes and malon...
