Abstract excerpt
Halohydrin dehalogenases (HHDHs) are valuable biocatalysts involved in the synthesis of β-substituted alcohols via their nucleophile-mediated ring-opening activity. To use directed evolution to unleash the latent potential of HHDHs for the synthesis of β-substituted alcohols, we report a high-throughput assay for screening HHDHs mutagenesis libraries. The assay is performed in a 96-well microtiter plate format...
