Abstract:

Ginsenosides are the principle components that are responsible for the biological and pharmacological activities of ginseng. In this study, biotransformation of ginsenside Rd and CK by recombinant β-glucosidasse(Fpglu1) was studied by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). Structure modeling and molecular docking studies were performed to study the interaction between the protein and the ginsenosides. The results showed that ginsenoside Rd and CK could be transformed from major ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2 and Rc by Fpglu1. The Km values for Rb1, Rb2 and Rc were 0.318, 1.840 and 5.269 mmol/L, and the kcat values were 144.191, 0.572 and 0.011 s-1, respectively. The highest productivity of ginsenoside Rd and CK were 60% and 93% with biotransformation time of 6 and 102 h, respectively. Molecular docking studies show that Glu194 and Glu367 are key active site residues and the predicted inter-energy exhibits linear relations to experimental Km values and kcat values.
