  • 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: 20230257720
    Abstract: Provided is a ketoreductase mutant and applications thereof. Compared with an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, the amino acid sequence of the ketoreductase mutant includes at least one of the following mutation sites: L198P, S96W/I/L/V, M194L or L1526, herein β€œ/” means β€œor.” The ketoreductase mutant provides high selectivity and high activity with respect to a substrate ketone, and the application of the mutant in a catalytic reduction reaction of a ketone substrate may increase the production efficiency of a chiral alcohol compound corresponding thereto.
