The present invention discloses a
transaminase and its use in preparing optically pure chiral amines. The
amino acid sequence of the
transaminase of the present invention has one or more mutations at positions 65, 318, 399, 419, 426, 465, and 466 compared to SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the
mutation is an addition, deletion, or substitution of an
amino acid residue. The present invention also discloses a
nucleic acid molecule encoding the
transaminase, a
nucleic acid construct comprising the
nucleic acid molecule, a recombinant vector, and a host
cell. The present invention also discloses an
enzyme preparation comprising the transaminase of the present invention. The present invention also discloses a method for preparing chiral amines using the transaminase. In the industrial production process of optically pure chiral amines, the
enzyme provided by the present invention has advantages such as
substrate specificity, enantiomeric selectivity, and high conversion rate. The method for preparing optically pure chiral amines provided by the present invention has high reaction efficiency,
stereoselectivity, and yield.
