Abstract excerpt
Limonene epoxide hydrolase from Rhodococcus erythropolis DCL 14 (LEH) is known to be an exceptional epoxide hydrolase (EH) because it has an unusual secondary structure and catalyzes the hydrolysis of epoxides by a rare one-step mechanism in contrast to the usual two-step sequence. From a synthetic organic viewpoint it is unfortunate that LEH shows acceptable stereoselectivity essentially only in the hydrolysis...
