Description

(I) Technical Field

[0002] This invention belongs to the field of drug synthesis, and specifically relates to an olefin reductase. Se ER mutants and their application in the synthesis of chiral drugs from reduced olefin compounds. (II) Background Technology

[0004] olefin reductases (ERs) are oxidoreductases belonging to the FMN-dependent oxidoreductase superfamily. They catalyze the asymmetric reduction of alkenes to produce chiral molecules with up to two stereocenters. Olefin reductases offer advantages such as mild reaction conditions and high selectivity, thus gradually replacing traditional high-pressure hydrogenation methods catalyzed by chemical metals and becoming important tools in the construction of chiral drugs. However, olefin reductases typically exhibit low catalytic activity and poor enantioselectivity with non-natural substrates, limiting their application in the synthesis of key intermediates for chiral drugs. Therefore, enzyme molecular modification is needed to enhance their activity and enantioselectivity with non-natural substrates.

[0063] Example 2: Se Construction of ER mutants

[0064] 1. WT- Se Selection of ER mutant sites

[0065] Using the docking software YASARA, the substrate (Z)-3-cyano-3-phenylmethyl acrylate was docked into the active pocket of the WT-SeER enzyme. Amino acid residues within a 5 Å range of the substrate were selected, as these amino acids are most likely to affect the selectivity and activity of the enzymatic reaction. After excluding the conserved catalytic triplet amino acids (H189, N192, Y194), T38, W117, Y83, and P87 were selected as mutation sites. These amino acids constitute the pocket on the ester side of the substrate and may interact with the ester functional group, thereby affecting the enantioselectivity of the reaction activity. At the same time, since W117 has a large side chain group, it is most likely to affect the reaction between the enzyme and the substrate, so it was preferentially saturated and mutated.
