Abstract excerpt
Halohydrin dehalogenases (HHDHs) have attracted much attention due to their ability to synthesize enantiomerically enriched epoxides and β-haloalcohols. However, most of the HHDHs exhibit low enantioselectivity. Here, a HHDH from the alphaproteobacteria isolate 46_93_T64 (AbHHDH), which shows only poor enantioselectivity in the catalytic resolution of rac-PGE (E = 9.9), has been subjected to protein engineering...
