Benzil reductase ((R)-benzoin forming) (EC 1.1.1.321) is an enzyme with systematic name (R)-benzoin:NADP+ oxidoreductase. [1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(R)-benzoin + NADP+ benzil + NADPH + H+

The bacterial enzyme ( Xanthomonas oryzae ) enantioselectively reduces one of the two carbonyl groups of benzil to form optically active (R)-benzoin.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP+ or, in older notation, TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide), is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, which require NADPH as a reducing agent ('hydrogen source'). NADPH is the reduced form of NADP+, the oxidized form. NADP+ is used by all forms of cellular life.
