The invention provides an application of
helicase in directionally hydrolyzing
rutin for biosynthesizing Quereetin. The method provided by the invention comprises the following steps: adding a crude
helicase preparation in
rutin substrate solution with the concentration of 0.005-0.100g / L, enabling the
helicase concentration in the solution to be 0.1-50g / L and the pH value to be 3-9, performing
enzymatic hydrolysis reaction under the conditions that the
reaction temperature is 10-70 DEG C and the reaction time is 0.1-36h, and acquiring the hydrolyzed product Quereetin after reaction. The invention adopts the crude helicase preparation or immobilized helicase preparation to directionally catalyze and hydrolyze
rutin for biosynthesizing Quereetin, thus having the advantages of wide sources of catalyst, easy preparation and low cost, and the helicase preparation has high stability, can be stored easily, has high
catalytic efficiency and high specificity. Therefore, by utilizing the helicase, the production cost of the Quereetin can be greatly reduced, the enzymatic conversion rate is high and the product is specific.
