16. 11 The pH of the buffer component of the reaction mixture was set at 4.5, chosen to balance the requirements for minimizing both enzyme instability that is known to be more pronounced at pH < 5 (see Albrecht, J.; Jansen, I.; Kula, M.-R. Biotechnol. Appl. Biochem. 1993, 17, 191), and the rate of non-enzymatic spontaneous cyanide addition that is increased at pH > 4 and leads to racemic product formation (see Kragl, U.; Niedermeyer, U.; Kula, M.-R.; Wandrey, C. Ann. NY Acad. Sci. 1990, 613, 617).
