摘要
An epoxide hydrolase from Vigna radiata, VrEH2, was successfully cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. Its temperature and pH optima were 30 degrees C and 6.5, respectively. VrEH2 showed an opposite regioselectivity towards (S)- and (R)-para-nitrostyrene oxide (pNSO), which enables it to catalyze the enantioconvergent hydrolysis of rac-pNSO affording (R)-p-nitrophenyl glycol (pNPG). Preparative synthesis of (R)-pNPG from rac-pNSO by a chemoenzymatic enantioconvergent hydrolysis route with one quarter time as using VrEH2 alone, gave (R)-pNPG in 99.0% ee and 71.5% overall yield after recrystallization, indicating the potential of VrEH2 as a promising biocatalyst for the preparation of enantiopure diols in organic synthesis.
