Rational design of mimetic peptides based on promiscuous aldo-ketoreductase enzyme as asymmetric catalysts in aldol and Michael reactions

The asymmetric aldol and Michael reactions, as the most prominent carbon-carbon bond formation reactions, are the central study issues in the field of asymmetric synthesis. In this study, promiscuous aldo-ketoreductase (AKR) used to catalyze aldol reaction. between aromatic aldehydes and ketones. Go...

Peptide 1 produced a good yield (88%), moderate enantioselectivity (68%), and excellent diastereoselectivity (dr = 99/1).
