Abstract:
PSEUDOMONAS LIPASE Nucleic acid sequences, particularly DNA sequences, coding for all or part of a lipase of Pseudomonas sp. ATCC 21808, wherein said lipase has the amino acid sequence encoded by the nucleotide sequence of the SacI/HindIII insert of plasmid pSG312 deposited with the American Type Culture Collection, expression vectors containing the DNA sequences, host cells containing the expression vectors, and methods utilizing these materials. The invention also concerns polypeptide molecules comprising all or part of a lipase of Pseudomonas sp. ATCC 21808, wherein said lipase has the amino acid sequence encoded by the nucleotide sequence of the SacI/HindIII insert of plasmid pSG312 deposited with the American Type Culture Collection, and methods for producing these polypeptides molecules.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the enzymatic, stereoselective reduction of ketone compounds to provide chiral alcohols, for example the compound of formula (Ib).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a recombinant Pichia pastoris formate dehydrogenase (FDH) enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of formate to carbon dioxide and the simultaneous reduction of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) to its reduced form (NADH). Also related are isolated nucleic acids encoding P. pastoris FDH polypeptides, and fragments and variants thereof, as well as vectors and host cells comprising these nucleic acids. Further related are isolated, recombinant P. pastoris FDH polypeptides, and fragments and variants thereof, and antibodies that specifically bind to P. pastoris FDH polypeptides, fragments, or variants. The invention also relates to methods of obtaining isolated P. pastoris FDH nucleic acids, polypeptides, and antibodies, and methods of using P. pastoris FDH in various reactions for industrial or pharmaceutical applications.
