Abstract
The invention concerns proteins of fungal origin having an epoxide hydrolase activity, such as those obtained in essentially pure form by extraction from fungi cells, or by culturing in host cells transformed by a nucleotide sequence coding for said fungal proteins. The invention also concerns the uses thereof, in particular for implementing methods for preparing enantiopure epoxides and/or diols.
Claims14
A protein of fungal origin having epoxide hydrolase activity, such as is obtained in essentially pure form by extraction from cells of fungi, or by culture of host cells transformed by a nucleotide sequence coding for the aforementioned fungal protein, or protein derived by substitution, suppression or addition of one or more amino acids of the aforementioned protein of fungal origin and possessing epoxide hydrolase activity.
