Abstract

Enantioselective hydrolysis for the producing chiral epichlorohydrin from its racemic substrate was investigated using epoxide hydrolase activity of Rhodosporidium toruloides SJ-4. The effects of reaction parameters including pH, temperature, initial substrate concentration on initial hydrolysis rate and enantioselectivity were analyzed and optimized. The addition of detergent, Tween 20, enhanced the hydrolysis rate and enantioselectivity. Chiral (R)-epichlorohydrin with high optical purity (>99% ee) and yield of 25% (theoretically 50% maximum yield) was obtained from its racemate of 20 mM.

라세믹 ECH 기질에 대한 입체선택적 가수분해 활성을 가진 R. tourloides를 생촉매로 이용하여 광학활성 (R)-ECH를 생산하였다. EH의 입체적선택적 가수분해능에 영향을 주는 실험인자들인 pH, 반응온도, 초기 ECH 농도 등이 초기 가수분해반응속도에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 최적 회분식 반응조건을 결정하였다. 또한 Tween 20 등의 detergent를 첨가하여 가수분해 반응속도 및 입체선택성을 향상시킬 수 있었다. pH 8, 반응온도 35$^{\circ}C$, 2% (v/v)의 Tween 20이 첨가된 조건에서 약 1.2시간의 반응을 통해 80mM 라세믹 기질로부터 광학순도 100% ee인 (R)-ECH를 12.5%(이론수율 = 50%) 수율로 얻을 수 있다.
