Evolution of Native Amine Dehydrogenases for Chiral Primary Amine Synthesis

University of York

Department of Chemistry

Background. Chiral amines are important functional groups that feature in up to 50% of small molecule drugs. The chemistry used to make them is often non-selective, hazardous or toxic and so there is significant pressure to develop green and sustainable methods of chiral amine synthesis. Read more
