| abstract |
The invention relates to proteins that have an enzymatic activity for reducing substituted alkanones, such as 3-methylamino-1-(2-thienyl)-propane-1-on. The invention also relates to nucleic acids that encode these proteins, to nucleic acid constructs, vectors, genetically modified microorganisms and to methods for producing substituted (S) alkanols, such as for example (S)-3-methylamino-1-(2-thienyl)-(S)-propanol. |
