Abstract
The present review summarizes recent achievements in enzymatic thiamine catalysis during the past three years. With well-established enzymes such as BAL, PDC and TK new reactions have been identified and respective variants were prepared, which enable access to stereoisomeric products. Further we highlight recent progress with 'new' ThDP-dependent enzymes like MenD and PigD, which catalyze the Stetter-like 1,4 addition of aldehydes and YerE, which is the first known ThDP-dependent enzyme accepting ketones as acceptors.
