The enantioselective reduction of 2-pentanone to (R)- and (S)-2-pentanol by Thermoanaerobacter (formerly Thermoanaerobium) brockii alcohol dehydrogenase (TBADH) in mixtures of water and water-miscible organic solvents was investigated. Significant enzymatic activity was retained in up to 87% methanol, ethanol and acetonitrile.
