Abstract
The invention is directed to immobilized ketoreductases and methods of making and using them. Enzymes are protein molecules which serve to accelerate the chemical reactions of living cells (often by several orders of magnitude). Without enzymes, most biochemical reactions would be too slow to even carry out life processes. Enzymes display great specificity and are not permanently modified by their participation in reactions. Since they are not changed during the reactions, enzymes can be cost effectively used as catalysts for a desired chemical transformation.
