Mirror-image packing in enantiomer discrimination molecular basis for the enantioselectivity of B.cepacia lipase toward 2-methyl-3-phenyl-1-propanol.

Chem. Biol. 12(4) , 427-37, (2005)

Synthetic chemists often exploit the high enantioselectivity of lipases to prepare pure enantiomers of primary alcohols, but the molecular basis for this enantioselectivity is unknown. The crystal structures of two phosphonate transition-state analogs bound t...
