technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a novel styrene cyclooxygenase BrSMO gene and its catalytic function from Bradyrhizobium sp. engineering field. Background technique
[0002] Chirally pure epoxides are important synthetic building blocks for the production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, yet obtaining epoxides with high yields and excellent optical purity remains a great challenge in organic synthesis. To date, many chemical and enzymatic strategies have been developed to synthesize chiral epoxides. Among them, the biocatalytic epoxidation of alkenes is considered to be a green and efficient route to prepare chiral pure epoxy compounds.
[0003] Styrene cyclooxygenase, which can catalyze the epoxidation of alkenes to obtain epoxides with excellent enantioselectivity, is an excellent biocatalyst for the preparation of chiral epoxides. At present, many styrene cyclooxygenase genes have been identified from styrene-degrading strains, metagenomes, or thr...
