Mimetic Peptides based on Promiscuous Enzyme as Asymmetric Catalyst in Aldol and Michael Reactions

Biocatalysis has developed as a rich and green apparatus for present day natural blend because of its high productivity, great selectivity and ecological worthiness. Although, an enzyme is capable of catalyzing a specific reaction effectively, some unexpected experimental results have indicated that many enzymes are catalytically promiscuous. Mimetic peptides based on enzyme as a kind of important chiral scaffold are broadly identified for their obvious advantages, diverse structures and ready accessibility.
