Abstract: The regulating circles of the metabolic pathways in cells in vivo are complicated,and the intuitive researches may be carried out if the target metabolic pathways could be moved to the cells in vitro. Selecting 10 thermophilic enzymes,synthesizing pathways in vitro were constructed,which achieved the cycle balance of energy ATP and redox cofactors NAHP(H),as well as the produced lactate from glucose metabolism. The preliminary study revealed this system’s optimal reaction condition was pH 7 and 50℃. Under this condition,adding small amount of NADP+,12.4 g/L glucose was converted to 9.5 g/L lactate within 8 hours.

Key words: synthesis in vitro, metabolic pathway, genetic engineering, multi-enzyme synthesis
