Direct reductive amination of ketones with amines by reductive aminases

Direct reductive amination of ketones by reductive aminases (RedAms) is a promising method for the synthesis of primary, secondary and tertiary amines. In this work, five naturally occurring RedAms possessing reductive amination activity were identified using a structure-guided genome mining (SGGM)...
