A membrane‐bound esterase PA2949 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa is expressed and purified from Escherichia coli

Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain 1001 produces an esterase (EstA) that can hydrolyse the racemic methyl ester of β‐acetylthioisobutyrate to produce the (D)‐enantiomer, which serves as a precursor of captopril, a drug used for treatment of hypertension.
