Graphical Abstract

Begrüßenswerte Promiskuität: Die Racemase-artige Aktivität von B.-cepacia-Lipase gegenüber N-substituierten α-Aminonitrilen sollte nach experimentellen Befunden und Rechnungen auf einer C-C-Spaltung/Verknüpfung im Hydrolasezentrum des Enzyms beruhen. Diese promiskuitive Aktivität ermöglicht in Kombination mit der Transacylierungsaktivität des Enzyms die asymmetrische Synthese von N-Methyl-α-aminonitrilamiden in hoher Ausbeute (siehe Schema).
