Background
Imine reductases play a pivotal role in drug synthesis and biomanufacturing processes. Imine reductases catalyze the reduction of imine functional groups to their corresponding amines, a fundamental transformation in organic chemistry. This transformation is crucial in drug synthesis as it enables the efficient conversion of precursor compounds into complex drug molecules. In biomanufacturing, imine reductases find application in the production of fine chemicals, including chiral amines, which are essential building blocks in various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and cosmetics. These enzymes offer an environmentally friendly and economically viable alternative to traditional chemical synthesis methods.
