A new reductase, CgKR2, with the ability to reduce ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate (OPBE) to ethyl (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyrate ((R)-HPBE), an important chiral precursor for angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, was discovered. For the first time, (R)-HPBE with >99% ee was produced via bioreduction of OPBE at 1 M without external addition of cofactors. The space-time yield (700 g.L-1.d(-1)) was 27 times higher than the highest record.
