Usually, the E value is obtained by measuring the ee of the residual substrate (ees) at a certain conversion ratio. However, in the case of biotransformations conducted using whole-cell cultures, it is very difficult to determine the degree of conversion with good accuracy because of the heterogeneity of the medium. Therefore, the E values are often determined using both ees and eep measurements, but this implies that the regioselectivity of the oxirane ring opening is identical for both enantiomers of the substrate.
