Kinetic Resolution of Racemic Amines to Enantiopure (<i>S</i>)-amines by a Biocatalytic Cascade Employing Amine Dehydrogenase and Alanine Dehydrogenase

Amine dehydrogenases (AmDHs) efficiently catalyze the NAD(P)H-dependent asymmetric reductive amination of prochiral carbonyl substrates with high enantioselectivity. AmDH-catalyzed oxidative deamination can also be used for the kinetic resolution of racemic amines to obtain enantiopure amines. In th...
