Abstract
The present invention relates to an enzym complex in which a heme polymerase and a heme ligase are linked to each other via the dockerin module of cellulas, and to a method for producing a hemozoin using the same. The enzyme complex according to the present invention can polymerize heme with higher efficiency than conventional enzymes, and thus can more efficiently produce hemozoin, a conductive biopolymer.
Claims6
An enzyme complex comprising a heme polymerase, a heme ligase, and a scaffold protein,
- wherein the heme polymerase comprises a first dockerin module of a first cellulase, and the heme ligase comprise a second dockerin module of a second cellulase,
- wherein the scaffold protein comprises a cohesin module, and
- wherein the heme polymerase and the heme ligase are linked via a protein-protein interaction between the cohesin module, the first dockerin module, and the second dockerin module.
