Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering and enzyme engineering, in particular to a glutamyl transpeptidase for synthesizing γ-polyglutamic acid and its coding gene. Background technique
[0002] γ-polyglutamic acid (Poly-γ-glutamic acid, γ-PGA) is an anionic polymer composed of D- or L-glutamic acid through α-amino and γ-carboxyl to form a γ-amide bond . γ-PGA is a new water-soluble and biodegradable green biomaterial, which has the characteristics of edible, non-toxic, film-forming, cohesive, and moisturizing properties. Thickeners and humectants are used in medicine, food and cosmetics, and can also be used as water-retaining agents, antifreeze agents and fresh-keeping agents for fruits and vegetables, as well as flocculants and heavy metal chelating agents for water treatment. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, γ-polyglutamic acid has attracted much attention as a biodegradable polymer material.
