Enhanced Production of (S)-2-arylpropionic Acids by Protein Engineering and Whole-Cell Catalysis

Esterases are important biocatalysts for chemical synthesis. Several bHSL family esterases have been used to prepare (S)-2-arylpropionic acids with stronger anti-inflammatory effects via kinetic resolution. Here, we presented the discovery of key residues that controlled the enantioselectivity of bH...
