263 results about "Asparagine" patented technology

Asparagine (symbol Asn or N), is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino group (which is in the protonated −NH⁺₃ form under biological conditions), an α-carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO⁻ form under biological conditions), and a side chain carboxamide, classifying it as a polar (at physiological pH), aliphatic amino acid. It is non-essential in humans, meaning the body can synthesize it. It is encoded by the codons AAU and AAC.

PendingCN121065122ABacteriaMicroorganism based processesCarbonyl ReductaseWild type enzyme
The invention discloses a high-performance carbonyl reductase mutant and application thereof in synthesis of a series of chiral alcohols. The high-performance carbonyl reductase mutant is obtained by performing the following mutations on an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO.2: the 69th alanine mutates into any one of lysine, leucine, aspartic acid or asparagine, and the 69th alanine mutates into any one of lysine, leucine, aspartic acid or asparagine; and / or the 100th glycine is mutated into any one of glutamic acid, serine, lysine or asparagine. Compared with a wild type enzyme, the thermal stability and the catalytic activity of the obtained mutant are remarkably improved, particularly, single point mutants Mut-A69N, Mut-G100E and Mut-G100N and a combined mutant Mut-A69N-G100N show excellent relative enzyme activity, thermal stability and substrate tolerance. The mutant has high catalytic activity and stability to various chiral alcohols, and the contradiction that the traditional carbonyl reductase is easy to inactivate at high temperature and the catalytic efficiency is difficult to achieve at the same time is solved.
