Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)-dependent aldolases are powerful catalysts for synthesis of carbohydrates and related compounds, such as iminocyclitols. Their utility is limited by the strict requirement for DHAP, an expensive, unstable compound, as donor substrate. The DHAP-dependent rhamnulose-1
The hydroxynitrile lyase (HNL)-catalysed cyanohydrin reaction is a useful method to synthesize enantiopure -hydroxy nitriles and the corresponding -hydroxy acids. 1,2 However, small ketones, such as 2-butanone, are converted with low selectivities, due to the poor discrimination between methyl and e
