Chemistry

Stereoselective Synthesis of Chiral Amines via Enzymatic Catalysis

Quick fact

Enzymatic transamination can achieve enantiomeric excess (ee) greater than 99%, meaning nearly every product molecule has the correct chirality.

Why this is interesting

Many life-saving drugs exist as mirror-image molecules, but only one version works. How do chemists reliably create just the right 'handed' amine?
