Abstract: Lactate oxidase can catalyze the oxidation of lactic acid to pyruvate,thus it has important industrial application value. However,lactate oxidases from different sources share the common problem of poor thermal stability,which impacts its application in industry. The researches on lactate oxidase are less reported,and there was no report on the improvement of its thermal stability,therefore improving the thermal stability of lactate oxidase is of great significance. In this study,we cloned and expressed highly specific lactate oxidase EgLOD,and used bioinformatics and surface charge analysis software ETSS to analyze the protein structure of lactate oxidase. We designed 9 mutants for the experiment of improving their thermal stability based on the distribution and optimization of protein surface char,2 mutants D250N and D281N presented efficient enhanced thermal stability after screening. After incubated under 60℃ for 30 min,they remained more than 50% of the enzyme activity,while the wild type EgLOD remained only 20%.

Key words: lactate oxidase, thermal stability, molecular modification, ETSS
