Title:
NOVEL CARBONYL REDUCTASE, GENE FOR THE REDUCTASE, VECTOR, TRANSFORMANT, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE ALCOHOL UTILIZING THESE MATERIALS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/099994
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The object is to provide a method for producing (R)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-propanol with good efficiency. Thus, disclosed are: a polypeptide which is isolated from Pseudomonas stutzeri and is capable of reducing 3,4-dimethoxyphenylacetone asymmetrically to produce (R)-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-propanol; DNA encoding the polypeptide; a transformant capable of producing the polypeptide; and a method for production of an optically active alcohol by reducing a carbonyl compound using the polypeptide or the transformant.
