LID - 10.3390/ijms18061198 [doi] LID - 1198 AB - Due to the dual cofactor specificity, glucose 1-dehydrogenase (GDH) has been considered as a promising alternative for coenzyme regeneration in biocatalysis. To mine for potential GDHs for practical applications, several genes encoding for GDH had been heterogeneously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) for primary screening. Of all the candidates, GDH from Bacillus sp. ZJ (BzGDH) was one of the most robust enzymes. BzGDH was then purified to homogeneity by immobilized metal affinity chromatography and characterized biochemically. It displayed maximum activity at 45 degrees C and pH 9.0, and was stable at temperatures below 50 degrees C. BzGDH also exhibited a broad pH stability, especially in the acidic region, which could maintain around 80% of its initial activity at the pH range of 4.0-8.5 after incubating for 1 hour. Molecular dynamics simulation was conducted for better understanding the stability feature of BzGDH against the structural context. The in-silico simulation shows that BzGDH is stable and can maintain its overall structure against heat during the simulation at 323 K, which is consistent with the biochemical studies. In brief, the robust stability of BzGDH made it an attractive participant for cofactor regeneration on practical applications, especially for the catalysis implemented in acidic pH and high temperature.
