  • Publication number: 20240124853
    Abstract: Provided are transaminase mutants and uses thereof. The transaminase mutant is obtained by one or more amino acid mutations occurring in SEQ ID NO: 2 or is a mutant with a conserved amino acid mutation obtained by taking the sequence SEQ ID NO: 1 of a wild-type CvTA transaminase as a reference. Compared with wild-type transaminases, the catalytic activity of the mutant is improved to different degrees, so that the production efficiency of chiral amine compound synthesis may be improved.

  • Publication number: 20240117395
    Abstract: Provided is a method for synthesizing a chiral amine compound. A transaminase is used to transaminate a ketone substrate under the action of an amino donor, to obtain the chiral amine compound; and the conserved amino acid sequence region of the transaminase at least includes a region 1 (MAGLWCVN) and a region 2 (YNTFFKT). With the transaminase with the specific conserved amino acid sequence region to synthesize a large sterically hindered chiral amine, the enzyme catalytic reaction volume is small, the synthesizing route is short, the product yield is high, a high-cost noble metal is not required for catalysis under the synthesizing conditions, three wastes are reduced, and the production cost is saved.

  • Publication number: 20240010997
    Abstract: Provided are a cytochrome P450 enzyme mutant and an application thereof. The enzyme activity and anti-Markov oxidation selectivity of P450 derived from a wild-type strain of Bacillus megaterium undergo protein modification by means of directed evolution, thus improving enzyme activity and selectivity, and developing a series of P450 enzyme mutants that may be used for industrial production.

  • Patent number: 7697976
    Abstract: The invention relates to a non-invasive method to diagnose the changes of molecular structures of organism tissues from body surface and a dedicated apparatus. The apparatus is comprised of a Fourier Transform infrared spectrometer and a set of additional accessories. Said additional accessories include a mid-IR fiber optics sampling attachment, a fiber coupling part, and an infrared detector part. The detection method is comprised of placing the ATR probe of the dedicated apparatus on the skin surface of a region to be tested, and scanning more than one time in which the resolution of the apparatus is 1-32 cm?1 and the range of the spectrum is 800-4000 cm?1. It is possible to detect changes in molecular structures of living biological tissues in the early stages of cancer, and testees will not feel uncomfortable during testing. The method is easy to operate, quick, accurate, and it doesn't harm the body.
