transforming α-oximo β-keto esters. However, the reaction pathway of this two-step reduction remained elusive. By studying the crystal structures of enzyme oxime complexes, analyzing molecular dynamics simulations, and investigating biocatalytic cascades and possible intermediates, we obtained evidence that the reaction proceeds via an imine intermediate and not via the hydroxylamine intermediate.

直到最近才发现将肟部分生物催化还原为相应的胺基是转化 α-肟基 β-酮酯的烯还原酶的混杂活性。然而,这种两步还原的反应途径仍然难以捉摸。通过研究酶肟复合物的晶体结构、分析分子动力学模拟以及研究生物催化级联和可能的中间体,我们获得了反应通过亚胺中间体而不是通过亚胺进行的证据羟胺中间体。亚胺被烯还原酶进一步还原成胺产物。值得注意的是,发现非典型酪氨酸残基有助于烯还原酶 OPR3 的催化活性,在第一步还原中使肟的羟基质子化。
