Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a keratinase mutant with improved catalytic rate and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the field of enzyme engineering. Background technique
[0002] Keratinase is an enzyme that can specifically degrade keratin, which is produced by various microorganisms such as fungi, actinomycetes and bacteria. Keratinase is widely used in industries such as food, medicine, feed, refining and tanning. It has the functions of tenderizing meat, producing advanced nutrition, immune preparations and feed additives, as well as beautifying and softening leather. It can also cause mad cow disease and human Degradation of Prion in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The keratinase gene reported so far mainly comes from the kerA gene of a foreign strain of Bacillus licheniformis. Although keratinase has great application and research value, the keratinase screened from wild bacteria has low catalytic efficiency, low substrate specificity, and cann...
