Enzymatic enantiopreference is one of the key advantages of biocatalysis. While exploring the synthesis of small cyclic (chiral amines) such as 3-aminotetrahydrofuran (THF-amine), using the ( S )-selective transaminase from Halomonas elongata (HEwT), inversion of the enantiopreference was observed at increasing substrate loadings. In addition, the enantiopreference could also be altered by variation of the ionic strength, or of the co-solvent content in the reaction mixture. For example, using otherwise identical reaction conditions, the presence of 2 M sodium chloride gave ( R )-THF-amine (14% ee ), while the addition of 2.2 M isopropyl alcohol gave the ( S )-enantiomer in 30% ee . While the underlying cause is not currently understood, it appears likely that subtle changes in the structure of the enzyme cause the shift in enantiopreference and are worth exploring further.
