Abstract

The disclosure relates to engineered ketoreductase polypeptides and processes of using the polypeptides for production of phenylephrine.

Claims (2)

1. An engineered polypeptide comprising the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:6, wherein the engineered polypeptide is capable of converting 1-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(methylamino) ethanone to (R)-phenylephrine.

2. The engineered polypeptide of claim 1 , wherein the polypeptide is capable of stereospecifically converting 1-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-2-(methylamino)ethanone to (R)-phenylephrine in a enantiomeric excess of at least 99%.
