Abstract
The present invention provides a general biocatalyst for transforming saturated carbonyl compounds to their .alpha.,.beta.-unsaturated analogs. The transformation is regio- as well as stereoselective. These catalysts are useful in the chiral resolution of carbonyl compounds as well as in the development of libraries of small molecules to screen as potential drug candidates.
