Nucleic acids encoding cytochrome P450 variants are provided. The cytochrome P450 variants of have a higher alkane-oxidation capability, alkene-oxidation capability, and/or a higher organic-solvent resistance than the corresponding wild-type or parent cytochrome P450 enzyme. A preferred wild-type cytochrome P450 is cytochrome P450 BM-3. Preferred cytochrome P450 variants include those having an improved capability to hydroxylate alkanes and epoxidate alkenes comprising less than 8 carbons, and have amino acid substitutions corresponding to V78A, H236Q, and E252G of cytochrome P450 BM-3. Preferred cytochrome P450 variants also include those having an improved hydroxylation activity in solutions comprising co-solvents such as DMSO and THF, and have amino acid substitutions corresponding to T235A, R471A, E494K, and S1024E of cytochrome P450 BM-3.
提供了编码细胞色素P450变体的核酸。这些细胞色素P450变体具有比相应的野生型或母体细胞色素P450酶更高的烷基氧化能力、烯烃氧化能力和/或更高的有机溶剂抗性。首选的野生型细胞色素P450是细胞色素P450 BM-3。首选的细胞色素P450变体包括那些具有改进的烷基羟化和烯烃环氧化能力,包括少于8个碳的,并且具有与细胞色素P450 BM-3的V78A、H236Q和E252G对应的氨基酸替换。首选的细胞色素P450变体还包括那些在包含DMSO和THF等共溶剂的溶液中具有改进的羟化活性,并具有与细胞色素P450 BM-3的T235A、R471A、E494K和S1024E对应的氨基酸替换。
