Abstract: In the last years, imine reductases (IREDs) have gained importance for the formation of chiral amines by catalyzing asymmetric reductions of imines and chemo‐ and stereoselective reductive aminations. However, all characterized members of this steadily… read more here.

Abstract: Chiral secondary and tertiary amines are ubiquitous in pharmaceutical, fine, and specialty chemicals, but their synthesis typically suffers from significant sustainability and selectivity challenges. Biocatalytic alternatives, such as enzyme‐catalyzed reductive amination, offer several advantages over… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.orglett.7b01274
Abstract: A new imine reductase from Stackebrandtia nassauensis (SnIR) was identified, which displayed over 25- to 1400-fold greater catalytic efficiency for 1-methyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline (1-Me DHIQ) compared to other imine reductases reported. Subsequently, an efficient SnIR-catalyzed process was… read more here.
