The enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase (EC 2.1.2.1) has been used in the synthetic direction with a variety of aldehyde substrates to form carbon-carbon bonds with the creation of two chiral centres. A variety of beta-hydroxyaminoacids has been prepared in reasonable yields but, although L-stereospecificity is observed at the alpha-centre, stereospecificity is not high at the beta-centre when the reaction is conducted on the preparative scale.
