The invention relates to a method for virtually screening cholesterol degrading medicine with 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR24) being a target point. The method includes the steps that 1, the molecular structure of DHCR24 is determined; 2, molecular docking software is adopted, the active center of macromolecular docking of the medicine is determined according to a combined pocket which is formed after desmosterol and DHCR24 are docked, and an active pocket is set; 3, a macromolecular ligand databse used for docking is arranged; 4, according to the set active pocket, by the utilization of the molecular docking software, macromolecular ligands in the macromolecular ligand database used for docking and the active pocket are docked in sequence; 5, results which are screened after primary docking are accurately docked, and the candidate medicine having the effect of cholesterol degrading are determined. By the adoption of the method, within short time, the macromolecular candidate medicine which has the effect of competitive restraining of DHCR24 and is developed into the novel cholesterol degrading medicine is obtained, in this way, the research and development efficiency is greatly improved, and the research period of new medicine is shortened.

The invention belongs to the technical field of biochemical engineering and enzyme engineering, and in particular relates to a method utilizing the microsomal enzyme of an animal liver to biosynthesize 7-dehydrocholesterol. The method includes the following steps: (1) preparation of microsomal enzyme solution; (2) enzymatic conversion reaction; (3) saponification reaction; and (4) extraction. The method can prepare the 7-dehydrocholesterol which is completely identical with that prepared by chemosynthesis; and meanwhile, the technology is simple and easy, and not only the production cost of vitamin D3 can be reduced, but also the environment pollution can be reduced.

The invention discloses a liquid 25-hydroxyvitamin D calibrator diluent, which comprises the following components: a buffer solution, a protein stabilizer, a preservative and a cyclopentane polyhydrophenanthrene stabilizer. The main innovation of the invention lies in that a) 7-dehydrocholesterol is applied to the 25-hydroxyvitamin D calibrator for the first time for improving the stability of 25-hydroxyvitamin D under a liquid aerobic condition; b) all the components in the calibrator diluent are optimal formulas, so that the stability of the 25-hydroxyvitamin D calibrator is powerfully guaranteed, and the 25-hydroxyvitamin D calibrator can be stably stored at 8 DEG C for 12 months; and c) the liquid 25-hydroxyvitamin D calibrator is applied to detection of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in the serum sample, the calibrator does not need to be redissolved during detection, and the repeatability of a calibration curve which is calibrated for multiple times is superior to that of the calibration curve of the freeze-dried calibrator.

The invention provides clone and expression aiming at 7,8-dehydrogenase gene. The gene encoding 7,8-dehydrogenase is acquired from a constructed drosophila cDNA library, wherein the 7,8-dehydrogenase can transform cholesterol into 7-dehydrocholesterol, thereby providing a new method for synthesizing the 7-dehydrocholesterol by a biological process, acquiring a process route capable of shortening vitamin D3, reducing production cost, and reducing environmental pollution.

The present invention discloses a method for synthesizing 25-hydroxy cholesterol. The method is as below: subjecting 24-dehydrocholesterol derivative as a raw material, which undergoes an addition reaction with a hydroxyl containing reagent in an organic solvent under catalysis, and then hydrolyzing the reaction product and separating to obtain 25-hydroxy cholesterol. The present invention adopts hydroxyl containing reagents such as water, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, benzoic acid, p-methyl benzoic acid to replace the commonly used extremely toxic reagents such as Cr reagent, Hg reagent and polyfluorinated acetone in the prior art. The raw materials of the present invention are easily available, and have low effect on environment. The operation and post treatment are convenient. Moreover, the method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, simple operation, good selectivity, high efficiency, high yield, simple post treatment, easy product separation, less three wastes and easy industrialization.

The invention belongs to the field of gene engineering, and particularly relates to a prawn Y-organ 7,8-dehydrogenase gene and application thereof. The invention provides a gene for coding 7,8-dehydrogenase, which is obtained from a constructed Metapenaeus ensis Y-organ cDNA (complementary deoxyribonucleic acid) library; and the nucleotide sequence of the gene is disclosed as SEQ ID NO.1. The application method comprises the following steps: cloning the 7,8-dehydrogenase coding gene, and connecting with an expression plasmid to construct a recombinant expression plasmid; after linearizing and purifying the recombinant expression plasmid, converting a receptor bacterium, and screening to obtain a gene engineering bacterium; and carrying out induction expression, purification and identification to obtain the 7,8-dehydrogenase of which the amino acid sequence is disclosed as SEQ ID NO.2. The 7,8-dehydrogenase can be used for converting cholesterol into 7-dehydrocholesterol by a one-step enzyme process, thereby enhancing the conversion efficiency, shortening the process route for producing vitamin D3, lowering the production cost and reducing the environmental pollution.
