Conversion values of ammonia elimination reactions performed in different buffers, using I460V PcPAL as biocatalyst and (a) rac-m-CF3-phenylalanine rac-1k or (b) rac-p-CH3-phenylalanine rac-1c as substrate. In all cases the experimentally determined ee values of the nonreacted d-1k,1c were in accordance with the theoretical ee values, calculated from the corresponding conversion values (data not shown).
