Recent developments in asymmetric reduction of ketones with biocatalysts

Herein we review recent advances in the asymmetric reduction of ketones by biocatalysts. Included are discussions on recent developments in methodologies to control enantioselectivities of catalytic reactions, and examples of practical applications that reduce various types of ketones are also shown...
