Wild-type Candida tenuisxylose reductase and two Trp-23 mutants thereof catalyze NADH-dependent reduction of a homologous series of aromatic α-keto esters with absolute pseudo re-face stereoselectivity and broad tolerance for the substituent on the aromatic ring, producing the corresponding R-alcohols in high yield.
