Tomato source : 12‐Oxophytodienoate reductase isoenzymes OPR1 and OPR3 from tomato possess a broad substrate spectrum for the asymmetric bioreduction of α,β‐unsaturated enals, enones, dicarboxylic acids, and N‐substituted maleimides (see scheme). Stereocomplementary behavior of both isoenzymes was observed in the reduction of a nitroalkene that led to the formation of opposite stereoisomers in high enantiomeric excess.
