The invention provides yeast strains, and polypeptides encoded by genes of such yeast strains, that have enantiospecific 2,2-disubstituted 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 2,2-disubstituted vicinal diols and optically active 2,2-disubstituted epoxides.
该发明提供了酵母菌株,以及这些酵母菌株基因编码的多肽,具有对映选择性的2,2-二取代环氧乙烷水解酶活性。该发明还涵盖编码这些多肽的核酸分子,包含这些核酸分子的载体以及含有这些载体的细胞。该发明还涵盖了获得光学活性2,2-二取代邻二醇和光学活性2,2-二取代环氧化物的方法。
