EC | 1.1.1.320 | ||||
Accepted name: | benzil reductase [(S)-benzoin forming] | ||||
Reaction: | (S)-benzoin + NADP+ = benzil + NADPH + H+ | ||||
Glossary: | (S)-benzoin = (2S)-2-hydroxy-1,2-diphenylethanone benzil = 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-dione |
||||
Other name(s): | YueD | ||||
Systematic name: | (S)-benzoin:NADP+ oxidoreductase | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme also reduces 1-phenylpropane-1,2-dione. The enzyme from Bacillus cereus in addition reduces 1,4-naphthoquinone and 1-(4-methylphenyl)-2-phenylethane-1,2-dione with high efficiency [2]. | ||||

EC | 1.1.1.321 | ||||
Accepted name: | benzil reductase [(R)-benzoin forming] | ||||
Reaction: | (R)-benzoin + NADP+ = benzil + NADPH + H+ | ||||
Glossary: | (R)-benzoin = (2R)-2-hydroxy-1,2-diphenylethanone benzil = 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-dione |
||||
Systematic name: | (R)-benzoin:NADP+ oxidoreductase | ||||
Comments: | The enzyme from the bacterium Xanthomonas oryzae is able to reduce enantioselectively only one of the two carbonyl groups of benzil to give optically active (R)-benzoin. | ||||
