The present invention discloses a method for synthesizing glutathione by enzymatic catalysis, comprising the following steps: S1, mixing Upsilon-glutamylcysteine synthetase liquid and glutathione synthetase liquid to obtain mixed liquid A, mixing the mixed liquid A with acetate kinase to obtain mixed liquid B; S2, adding an immobilized carrier in the mixed liquid B, stirring for immobilizing, and filtering to obtain an immobilized enzyme; S3, blending glutamic acid, L-cysteine, glycine, magnesium sulfate, ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and acetyl phosphate into a reaction liquid, adding the immobilized enzyme, and stirring for reacting; S4, after reacting, filtering the reaction liquid, and extracting and refining filtrate to obtain the glutathione. The method of the invention has high synthetic efficiency, the production content of the reaction liquid is higher than 10 g / L, and substrate conversion rate reaches higher than 90%; by introducing acetate kinase to construct an ATP regeneration and coupling system, ATP charge is greatly reduced and production cost is significantly reduced; the immobilized enzyme is reusable and highly stable.
