The invention provides recombinant
nitrile hydratase and application thereof in preparation of
nicotinamide by
coupling ion exchange resin, which comprises the following steps: by taking a concentrated solution of supernate obtained by ultrasonically crushing wet thalli obtained by
fermentation culture of recombinant
nitrile hydratase
gene engineering bacteria as a catalyst and 3-cyanopyridine as a substrate, adding the
ion exchange resin, and reacting at the temperature of between 20 and 30 DEG C to obtain the
nicotinamide. The preparation method comprises the following steps: forming a
reaction system by taking a
phosphoric acid buffer solution with the pH value of 6-9 as a reaction medium, carrying out
hydration reaction under the conditions of 20-30 DEG C and 100-1000rpm, and after the reaction is completed, separating and purifying the reaction liquid to obtain the product
nicotinamide. The recombinant
nitrile hydratase coupled
ion exchange resin has the advantages of mild conditions, high efficiency, high chemical selectivity,
regioselectivity and the like, the biological
catalysis process has the characteristics of no
toxicity, no
pollution, low
energy consumption and the like, the method is an environment-friendly synthesis method, 95% or more of nicotinic acid impurities are adsorbed, and the method is suitable for industrial production. The nicotinamide product with the purity of 99.99% or above is obtained.
