A method for the resolution of α-tertiary carboxylic acid esters by partial hydrolysis is disclosed. The partial hydrolysis is carried out by contacting the esters with an aqueous solution in the presence of an enzyme, and the hydrolysis product is separated from unreacted starting material to obtain the hydrolysis product or the unreacted starting material in enantiomerically enriched form. A novel, purified enzyme which is useful in this method, and a nucleotide sequence encoding this enzyme, are also described.
本发明公开了一种通过部分水解法解析α-叔羧酸酯的方法。部分水解是在酶存在的情况下将酯与水溶液接触,然后将水解产物与未反应的起始物质分离,得到对映体富集形式的水解产物或未反应的起始物质。此外,还介绍了一种可用于该方法的新型纯化酶和编码这种酶的核苷酸序列。
