Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to recombinant Escherichia coli for producing levodopa and its construction method and application. Background technique
[0002] Levodopa (L-DOPA), also known as 3-hydroxyl-L-tyrosine, is an amino acid derivative with remarkable effects in medicine, hygiene, health care and beauty. Since 1908, it has been widely used clinically all over the world. Levodopa is currently the most effective drug for treating parkinsonism. It enters the brain tissue through the blood-brain barrier and plays a role. It is suitable for primary parkinsonism and non-pharmaceutical parkinsonia syndrome. At the same time, it has curative effects on stiffness, dyskinesia, salivation, and arterial crisis. Levodopa is an intermediate in the formation of catecholamines from tyrosine, the precursor of dopamine. About 95% of L-dopa absorbed into the blood is decarboxylated by dopa decarboxylase in peripheral tiss...
