High thermostability and catalytic activity are key properties for nitrile hydratase (NHase, EC 4.2.1.84) as a well-industrialized catalyst. In this study, rational design was applied to tailor the thermostability of NHase from Pseudonocardia thermophila JCM3095 (PtNHase) by combining FireProt server prediction and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Site-directed mutagenesis of non-catalytic residues provided by the rational design was subsequentially performed. The positive multiple-point mutant, namely, M10 (αI5P/αT18Y/αQ31L/αD92H/βA20P/βP38L/βF118W/βS130Y/βC189N/βC218V), was obtained and further analyzed. The Melting temperature (Tm) of the M10 mutant showed an increase by 3.2 °C and a substantial increase in residual activity of the enzyme at elevated temperatures was also observed. Moreover, the M10 mutant also showed a 2.1-fold increase in catalytic activity compared with the wild-type PtNHase. Molecular docking and MD simulations demonstrated better substrate affinity and improved thermostability for the mutant.

Physical And Chemical

Rare-earth phosphates are of particular interest because of their catalytic properties associated with the hydrolysis of many aromatic chlorides in the petroleum industry. Lanthanum phosphates (LaPO4) which have been doped with small amounts of copper have shown increased catalytic activity (1). However the physical and chemical characteristics of the samples leading to good catalytic activity are not known.Many catalysts are amorphous and thus do not easily lend themselves to methods of investigation which would include electron microscopy. However, the LaPO4, crystals are quite suitable samples for high resolution techniques.The samples used were obtained from William L. Kehl of Gulf Research and Development Company. The electron microscopy was carried out on a JEOL JEM-100B which had been modified for high resolution microscopy (2). Standard high resolution techniques were employed. Three different sample types were observed: 669A-1-5-7 (poor catalyst), H-L-2 (good catalyst) and 27-011 (good catalyst).
