AI Technical Summary
Existing acidic proteases have low enzyme activity and/or poor thermal stability, making them unsuitable for high-temperature environments and limiting their widespread application in industrial fields.
By genetically modifying the acidic protease of Trichoderma reesei, an acidic protease mutant, AQAP52, was developed. The amino acid sequence was point-mutated at specific sites, and combined with a specific expression vector and recombinant strain, the enzyme activity and thermostability were improved.
The acidic protease mutant AQAP52 maintains high enzyme activity over a wide range of pH and temperature, is not easily inactivated in high-temperature environments, and improves the flexibility and efficiency of industrial production.
