Compared with biocatalysis in aqueous media, the use of enzymes in neat organic solvents enables increased solubility of hydrophobic substrates and can lead to more favorable thermodynamic equilibria, avoidance of possible hydrolytic side reactions and easier product recovery. ω-Transaminases from

Asymmetric synthesis of chiral amines by amine dehydrogenases (AmDH), which catalyzed reductive amination of ketones with high enantioselectivity, is an ideal route for production of chiral amine. In this study, a facile approach is proposed to immobilize unstable amine dehydrogenase
