AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the activity of 5α-reductase is low, resulting in low conversion and yield of steroidal drug intermediates. Furthermore, chemical and microbial fermentation methods pose environmental hazards and low efficiency.
By specifically mutating the amino acid sequence of 5α-reductase, especially modifying positions 56, 109, and/or 114, a highly efficient 5α-reductase mutant was constructed and combined with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase to achieve efficient conversion at substrate concentrations up to 10 g/L.
It significantly improves the catalytic performance of 5α-reductase, especially achieving a 99% conversion rate for AD, shortening the conversion cycle, meeting the needs of industrial production, avoiding environmental hazards, and featuring a simple process suitable for large-scale production.
