Epoxide hydrolase is an enantioselective catalyst for the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of epoxides.[1]
Unit Definition
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzymes which hydrolizes 1 μmol (S)-NEPC [(2S,3S)-trans-3-phenyl-2-oxiranylmethyl-4-nitrophenyl carbonate, Prod. No. 04088] per minute at pH 8.0 and 25 °C

The discovery of the metal salen-catalyzed asymmetric ring-opening (ARO) of epoxides is chronicled. A screening approach was adopted for the identification of catalysts for the addition of TMSN(3) to meso-epoxides, and the chiral (salen)CrN(3) complex was identified as optimal. Kinetic

Regulation of angiogenesis is critical for many diseases. Specifically, pathological retinal neovascularization, a major cause of blindness, is suppressed with dietary ω3-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3LCPUFAs) through antiangiogenic metabolites of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase. Cytochrome P450 epoxygenases (CYP2C8) also metabolize LCPUFAs

Somatic cell-embryo coculture enhances embryo development in vitro by producing embryotrophic factor(s) and/or removing harmful substances from the culture environment. Yet, the underlying molecular mechanisms on how somatic cells remove the toxicants from the culture medium remain largely unknown. By
Hello,
I was wondering if you could please let me know the molecular weight of this enzyme from Rhodococcus rhodochrous.
