  • Patent number: 11542479
    Abstract: The invention discloses an alcohol dehydrogenase mutant and use thereof. The alcohol dehydrogenase mutant of the present invention has high thermal stability and enables high catalytic efficiency and high conversion rate (i.e. space time yield) in the asymmetric reduction of prochiral diaryl ketones to produce chiral diaryl alcohols. Therefore, the alcohol dehydrogenase mutant of the present invention has extremely high prospect of application in the production of chiral diaryl alcohols, such as (S)-(4-chlorophenyl)-(pyridin-2-yl)-methanol, (R)-(4-chlorophenyl)-(pyridin-2-yl)-methanol.

  • Patent number: 11162124
    Abstract: Disclosed is an alcohol dehydrogenase mutant and application thereof in cofactor regeneration, and belongs to the technical fields of enzyme engineering and bioengineering. The alcohol dehydrogenase mutant is obtained by mutating valine at position 84 and/or tyrosine at position 127 in alcohol dehydrogenase having an original amino acid sequence as set forth in SEQ ID No. 1. The alcohol dehydrogenase mutant has high activity for a variety of alcohol co-substrates, and can catalyze these enzyme co-substrates for the regeneration of cofactor NADPH. Compared with the wild-type alcohol dehydrogenase KpADH, the alcohol dehydrogenase mutant has higher activity and catalytic efficiency, and for co-substrate 1,4-butanediol, its kcat value can be up to 75.9 min?1, its kcat/Km value can be up to 2009 min?1·M?1, and its Km value can be as low as 11.3 mM. Therefore, the alcohol dehydrogenase mutant has a higher value in industrial application.

  • Patent number: 11078465
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses an alcohol dehydrogenase mutant and application thereof in synthesis of diaryl chiral alcohols, and belongs to the technical field of bioengineering. The alcohol dehydrogenase mutant of the present disclosure has excellent catalytic activity and stereoselectivity, and may efficiently catalyze the preparation of a series of chiral diaryl alcohols in R- and S-configurations. By coupling alcohol dehydrogenase of the present disclosure to glucose dehydrogenase or formate dehydrogenase, the synthesis of chiral diaryl alcohol intermediates of various antihistamines may be achieved. Compared with the prior art, a method for preparing diaryl chiral alcohols through asymmetric catalytic reduction using the alcohol dehydrogenase of the present disclosure has the advantages of simple and convenient operation, high substrate concentration, complete reaction and high product purity, and has great industrial application prospects.
