Enoate reductases are versatile enzymes for the enantio‐ and regioselective addition of hydrogen to double bonds. We identified three EREDs (XenA, XenB, NemA) from Pseudomonas putida ATCC 17453 through a sequence motif search. In addition to cloning, functional expression, and biochemical characterization of these enzymes, the enoate reductases were also applied in enzyme cascade reactions in combination with a Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenase and an alcohol dehydrogenase to produce lactones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
