Abstract
Epoxide hydrolases can highly and selectively catalyze epoxides to chiral diols, which is an effective way to synthesize chiral diols. This article introduces the structure, functions, sources and mechanism of catalysis of this enzyme. The research on the hydrolyzation of epoxides by epoxide hydrolases, its cloning and expression in other bacteria are summarized.
