Abstract:

Lipase is one of the important enzymes and widely used in industrial processes due to its high enantioselectivity,stereoselectivity and broad substrate specificity. In addition to optimize the reaction conditions of lipases,people can also molecularly modify the lipase and essentially improve the catalytic efficiency in order to improve the enzymatic and physicochemical properties of lipase as well as to meet the high industrial demand. Generally,semi-rational design and rational design are often applied in molecular modification of binding pocket or “lid” domain of lipases for changing their substrate specificities,stereoselectivities,enantioselectivities,regioselectivities,etc. In this article,the molecular modification of lipase substrate binding pocket in recent decades is reviewed,aiming at providing some clues for relevant researches in the future.

Key words: lipase, substrate binding pocket, semi-rational design, rational design
