Abstract
The present invention relates to a coupled biotransformation process of converting chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and related compounds to ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) and related compounds. It also relates to the cloning, expression, and biochemical characterization of a novel NADP-dependent 7α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (7α-HSDH) from, cofactor switch mutants thereof, and their application for the oxidation of bile acids. A further aspect of the invention relates to novel NADP-dependent cofactor switch mutants of the NADP-dependent 7α-HSDH ofand their application for the oxidation of bile acids.
