A novel 74 kDa enone reductase which catalyzes the reduction of the exocyclic C–C double bond of enones was isolated from cultured cells of Nicotiana tabacum. The reductase was found to catalyze the enantiofacially selective reduction of the C–C double bond of 2-alkylidenecyclohexanone to give optically active (S)-2-alkylcyclohexanone.
