Abstract
The present invention relates to the preparation of amines from aldehydes and ketones by reductive amination with enzymes having a reductive aminase activity on aldehydes and ketones devoid of any carboxyl group gamma of the carbonyl group. The invention also relates to the enzymes per se and their uses in biocatalysis. The enzymes are derived from Mycobacterium smegmatis and vaccae, Cystobacter fuscus, Microbacterium sp. and Aminomonas paucivorans.
