Highlights
Novel imine reductase from yeast
Candida parapsilosis
purified and characterized.
CpIM1 belongs to unexplored Ornithine cyclodeaminase/Mu crystallin protein family
CpIM1 catalyzed stereospecific alkylamination of α-ketoacids/ketoesters.
CpIM1 also reduced cyclic and aryl imines.
First report on enzymatic alkylamination of α-ketoesters and reduction of arylimines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
