Abstract excerpt
An (S)-specific carbonyl reductase (SCRII) was purified to homogeneity from Candida parapsilosis by following an anti-Prelog reducing activity of 2-hydroxyacetophenone. Peptide mass fingerprinting analysis shows SCRII belongs to short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family. Its coding gene was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant SCRII displays the similar enzymatic characterization and...
