AI Technical Summary
The existing Candida antarctic lipase B has low catalytic activity, which makes it difficult to meet the synthesis requirements of high value-added products. In addition, it has poor stability in non-aqueous reaction systems and low expression levels, resulting in high costs for downstream separation and purification.
A mutant of Candida antarcticus lipase B (EXP01) was constructed by mutating proline at position 143 to leucine and alanine at position 284 to glutamic acid. This mutant was then efficiently expressed in Pichia pastoris GS115, and the immobilization conditions were optimized to improve catalytic activity and stability.
It significantly improved catalytic activity by 12.5 times, achieved protein expression levels of 1.8~1.9 g/L, reduced production costs, and achieved a conversion rate of 95.6% for vitamin C fatty acid esters and 97.3% for vitamin A oleate in non-aqueous phase reactions, meeting the synthesis requirements of high value-added products.
