The invention provides yeast strains, and polypeptides encoded by genes of such yeast strains, that have enantiospecific meso-epoxide hydrolase activity. The invention also features nucleic acid molecules encoding such polypeptides, vectors containing such nucleic acid molecules, and cells containing such vectors. Also embraced by the invention are methods for obtaining optically active vicinal diols from meso-epoxides.
本发明提供了酵母菌株和由这些酵母菌株的基因编码的多肽,具有对映特异性的中间体环氧水解酶活性。本发明还涵盖编码这种多肽的核酸分子,含有这种核酸分子的载体以及含有这种载体的细胞。本发明还涵盖了从中间体环氧化物中获得光学活性邻二醇的方法。
