Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis synthesis of enantiopure (S)-3-phenoxybenzaldehyde cyanohydrin (a useful intermediate in the pyrethroid synthesis) by applying a high pH two-phase system to reduce nonenzymatic reaction Manihot esculenta

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
W128A although the variant W128A shows a higher activity with respect to (S)-3-phenoxy-benzaldehyde cyanohydrin, the enantioselectivity is reduced to 85%, compared to 97% of wild-type enzyme Manihot esculenta
