Abstract
A two-enzyme-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of racemic secondary alcohols in water was achieved by Wolfgang Kroutil, Paweł Borowiecki, and co-workers (e202420133). The cover image illustrates the cooperative action of an engineered alcohol dehydrogenase (bottom left), which mediates racemization via a hydrogen-borrowing mechanism (indicated by the swirl), and an acyltransferase (bottom right) that enables enantioselective acylation. This organic-solvent- and metal-free DKR offers a novel approach for the deracemization of sec-alcohols in an aqueous system using exclusively biocatalysts. The cover was designed by Verena Resch.
