A two-step enzymatic synthesis process of 4-hydroxyisoleucine is suggested. In the first step, the aldol condensation of acetaldehyde and alpha-ketobutyrate catalyzed by specific aldolase results in the formation of 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-keto-pentanoate (HMKP). In the second step, amination of HMKP by the
