<p>The Journal Chem. Comm. just designated a scientific paper by Nicholas Turner, Matthew Truppo, and J. David Rozzell (Hey, that&#8217;s me!) as a Hot Article.  The communication describes a two-enzyme system for producing enantiomerically-pure amines, something which is difficult to do by other means. The link is <a href="http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/Journals/cc/News/B902995H_Turner_170309.asp" target="_blank">here</a>. The reaction sheme is below for those chemically inclined.</p>

<p>OK, I know it&#8217;s a shameless plug.</p>
