## Abstract Soluble epoxide hydrolase (EH) from the potato __Solanum tuberosum__ and an evolved EH of the bacterium __Agrobacterium radiobacter__ AD1, EchA‐I219F, were purified for the enantioconvergent hydrolysis of racemic styrene oxide into the single product (__R__)‐1‐phenyl‐1,2‐ethanediol, whi
