| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The oxidation and reduction reactions with risk-free reaction conditions were developed. The overexpressed enzymes (oxidase from Fusarium and reductase from Geotrichum candidum) using E-coli were used for the reactions, resulting in the very high efficiencies. Both enzymes have very wide substrate specificities, and excellent enantioselectivities. Especially, biotransformations of the challenging substrates for asymmetric synthesis were found to be also successful. Moreover, the structure of the G. candidum reductase was investigated by modeling and X-ray crystal structure determination to examine the mechanism to succeed in the excellent enantioselectivity.
