Vortrag


The current interest in applying enzymatic reactions in organic chemistry is mainly related to the preparation of optically active compounds with high stereoselectivity under environmentally friendly conditions. Many types of enzymes, which are present in bacteria, fungi, yeasts and plants, can be applied for that purpose. We have showed that promising enzymes can be found on bacterial strains isolated from different biomes (Atlantic forest, Amazon forest and Antarctic Peninsula). We also studied reactions of organic compounds containing heteroatoms (including selenium, boron and silicon) with alcohol dehydrogenases, lipases, transaminases and monooxygenases.
