Abstract

The invention is directed to polypeptides having epoxide hydrolase activity, polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides, antibodies that bind to these polypeptides, and methods for making and using these polynucleotides and polypeptides. The epoxide hydrolases are used to catalyze the hydrolysis of epoxides and arene oxides to their corresponding diols.
