Abstract:

The impact of co-lyophilizing horseradish peroxidase (HRP) with numerous amino acids and other chiral excipients on the enzyme's subsequent stereoselectivity [E(S/R)] in the sulfoxidation of thioanisole in 2-propanol was systematically investigated. While many improved the stereoselectivity of (and significantly activated) HRP, the greatest effect was observed with d-proline which enhanced the E(S/R) value by over an order of magnitude from synthetically meaningless to useful.

Keywords: asymmetric; chiral; organic solvents; sulfoxidation
