In order to verify the thermostability and enzyme activity of the gene-expressed malate dehydrogenase constructed as described above, the expressed malate dehydrogenase was subjected to the following performance test in the examples of the present invention. Enzyme activity test principle: malate dehydrogenase catalyzes NAD (P) H and NAD (P) while catalyzing reversible conversion between oxaloacetate and malate+To be transformed in between. Since NAD (P) H has respective maximum absorption peaks at 340nm, the activity of the enzyme can be determined by monitoring the change of the light absorption value of the reaction at 340 nm. Reaction system: Tris-HCL (pH 8.0), oxaloacetate, NADH, L-malic acid, NAD+. Adding 1 μ L of purified enzyme solution into 999 μ L of the reaction solution according to the above reaction system (1mL), and mixing by inversion; measured at 340nm using a Cary 300Bio UV-Visible spectrophotometer. Each experiment is independently repeated for 3-4 times; 1 enzyme activity unit (U) is defined as: the amount of enzyme required to consume 1. mu.M NAD (P) H per minute.
(1) Enzyme thermostability assay
Fixing the concentration of NADH in the reaction system to be 0.16mM and the concentration of OAA to be 0.25mM, placing the enzyme in water baths at different temperatures (20-78 ℃) to heat for 20min, taking out the enzyme, carrying out ice bath for 5min, and detecting the change of the slope under the absorbance of 340 nm. The degree of influence of the reaction was determined by the ratio to the reaction having the highest enzymatic reaction rate as a standard reaction, and the results are shown in FIG. 4. The mutant MT of the experiment maintains the activity at 70 ℃ to be more than 80%, the WT activity is reduced to be less than 70%, the MT still has 10% activity when reaching 78 ℃, and the MT is improved in thermal stability particularly at 60 ℃ compared with the WT.
(2) Enzyme kinetic assay
Kinetic parameters may measure the catalytic efficiency and natural properties of the enzyme.
KmThe value allows to judge the specificity of the enzyme and the natural substrate: some enzymes act on several substrates, KmThe value varies from substrate to substrate, which helps to determine the specificity of the enzyme, 1/KmCan approximately represent the magnitude of the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate, 1/KmLarger indicates greater affinity; kmThe smallest substrate is referred to as the optimal substrate for the enzyme, i.e.the natural substrate.
kcatDenotes the number of molecules of substrate per molecule of enzyme (or per active site) per second that are converted when the enzyme is saturated with substrate, this constant, also called the conversion number (abbreviated TN), and is commonly referred to as the catalytic constant, expressed in s-1,kcatLarger means higher catalytic efficiency of the enzyme.
And k iscat/KmThe ratio can be compared with the catalytic efficiency of different enzymes or the same enzyme catalyzing different substrates. The larger the ratio, the higher the efficiency. The catalytic properties of an enzyme can be reflected by measuring kinetic parameters of the enzyme.
The NADH concentration was varied at 25 ℃ in 100mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) and 0.3mM OAA, and A was detected340The concentration of each NADH is parallelly and independently detected for 3-4 times, an average value is taken, and the catalytic efficiency of the mutant type and wild type recombinant MaMDH is analyzed; meanwhile, K of NADH is calculated by using a Mie equation nonlinear fitting method in Graph pad 5.0 softwaremAnd kcatThe value is obtained. The specific data of the test are shown in Table 2.
