Enantiopure β-nitroalcohols are versatile intermediates used in the synthesis of important pharmaceuticals and chiral synthons. In this article, immobilized Arabidopsis thaliana HNL (AtHNL)-catalyzed preparation of (S)-β-nitroalcohols from their racemic mixtures via retro-Henry reaction was studied. AtHNL used in biocatalysis was

The preparation and characterization of UV-cured polyurethane-based materials for the mild inclusion immobilization of enzymes was investigated. Full curing of the polymer precursor/enzyme solution mixture was realized by a short irradiation with UV-light at ambient temperatures. The included aqueous enzyme
