Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for converting arginine into agmatine by catalyzing whole cells of bacteria, belonging to the technical field of bioengineering. Background technique
[0002] As an important biogenic amine, agmatine has great physiological functions and medical value. At present, the preparation of agmatine in my country mainly comes from chemical methods. The chemical synthesis of agmatine has cumbersome steps, low efficiency, high cost, heavy pollution, and does not meet the requirements of environmental protection. The use of biological methods to synthesize agmatine has attracted people's attention because of its advantages of fast reaction rate, simple operation, and no pollution.
[0003] Agmatine is produced by the decarboxylation of the substrate arginine catalyzed by arginine decarboxylase (see figure 1 ). The concentration of agmatine in the blood is 0.2-0.4ng / ml, and agmatine is distributed in almost all organs in the bo...
