The TRPA1 channel is activated by a number of pungent chemicals, such as allylisothiocyanate, present in mustard oil and thiosulfinates present in garlic. Most of the known activating compounds contain reactive, electrophilic chemical groups, reacting with cysteine residues in the
Four strains of microorganisms which have activity of chloroacetophenone reduction were screened, in which Saccharomyces cerevisiae B5 showed the highest activity and good stereoselectivity. This strains showed different activity on the reduction of various substrates in the following order: 2'-chloroacetophenone
The bacterium Acetobacter sp. CCTCC M209061 is a promising whole-cell biocatalyst with exclusive anti-Prelog stereoselectivity for the reduction of prochiral ketones that can be used to make valuable chiral alcohols such as (R)-4-(trimethylsilyl)-3-butyn-2-ol. Although it has promising catalytic properties, its
The asymmetric reduction of o-chloroacetophenone 1 with Candida pseudotropicalis 104 produced the corresponding (S)-1-(2-chloro-phenyl)-ethanol 2 with the enantiomeric excess (ee >99%) without addition of any cosolvent. The cell could tolerate high ketone 1 concentration of 233.8 mmol/L (i.e., 36 g/L)
