Characterization of a new esterase for enantioselective resolution of (R, S)-methyl mandelate
A new esterase gene (EST35) was cloned from Dactylosporangium sp. BB08 and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). Optimum catalytic activity of EST35 was at 30 C and it could be activated at 0 °C. EST35 remained high activity in 20% (V/V) cyclohexane, hexane, heptane, methanol and DMSO. Interestingly the...

Zusammenfassung: | A new esterase gene (EST35) was cloned from Dactylosporangium sp. BB08 and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). Optimum catalytic activity of EST35 was at 30 C and it could be activated at 0 °C. EST35 remained high activity in 20% (V/V) cyclohexane,
hexane, heptane, methanol and DMSO. Interestingly the enzyme exhibits good enantioselectivity towards (R, S)-methyl mandelate leaving with an optical purity of 97% (R)-methyl mandelate and make EST35 a promising enzyme for biotechnology application. |
