The invention discloses an
ethanol dehydrogenase mutant and an application of the
ethanol dehydrogenase mutant in synthesis of symmetric chiral
diol. The
ethanol dehydrogenase mutant is obtained by carrying out
single mutation or multiple mutations on amino acids at 74th, 187th, 210th, 211th and 352th sites of an
ethanol dehydrogenase amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.2 from Candida orbiculata Co. The invention further discloses a preparation method of the
ethanol dehydrogenase mutant, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out
single mutation or multiple mutations on the amino acids at the 74th, 187th, 210th, 211th and 352th sites of the
ethanol dehydrogenase amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.2.
Alcohol dehydrogenase is utilized to catalyze prochiral symmetric
diketone to synthesize symmetric chiral
diol, the method is high in
substrate concentration, high in
stereoselectivity, mild in reaction, simple in operation process, environment-friendly and more suitable for industrial amplification production, and the problems that in the prior art, the
substrate concentration is not high, the reaction condition is violent, the reaction process is complex and difficult to control, and the production cost is low are solved. And the method is not environment-friendly enough, and the like.
