The invention belongs to the technical field of biological catalytic synthesis, and particularly relates to a method for synthesizing beta-
nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) by
enzyme catalysis, which comprises the following steps: by taking D-
ribose as a starting substrate, and utilizing a three-step
enzyme catalysis reaction system which is synergistically completed by an S-methyl-5-thioribose
kinase mutant (SMTK),
purine nucleotidase (PNP) and
nicotinamide ribose kinase (NRK), synthesizing beta-
nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) by
enzyme catalysis. And efficient synthesis of the NMN is realized. In order to further optimize the cost, an ATP (
adenosine triphosphate) regeneration
system is innovatively introduced in the process, so that the consumption of ATP in the reaction process is effectively reduced. On the basis, by combining an enzyme
directed evolution technology, an
immobilized enzyme technology and a
continuous reactor design, the catalytic reaction efficiency and the product purity level are remarkably improved. The whole process has the characteristics of greenness and
environmental protection, the
reaction conditions are mild and controllable, the product yield stably reaches more than or equal to 85%, and the requirements of industrial large-scale production are completely met.
