Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a carbon monoxide (CO) dehydrogenase with increased oxygen resistance and/or enzyme activity, specifically, a mutant CO dehydrogenase with increased oxygen resistance and/or enzyme activity by mutating amino acid residues. The CO dehydrogenase may detoxify toxic carbon monoxide at room temperature and pressure by easily oxidizing carbon monoxide and converting the same into carbon dioxide, and may effectively oxidize carbon monoxide even in gas including oxygen. Furthermore, since it is possible to remove carbon monoxide, which is emitted in large quantities in industries such as petrochemical and steel industries, cigarette burning, household cooking, various boilers, and combustion, through cigarette filters, air purifiers, intake filters in household cooking equipment, gas boilers, etc. the CO dehydrogenase may be utilized in various ways.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . A carbon monoxide (CO) dehydrogenase with increased oxygen resistance and/or enzyme activity, wherein the CO dehydrogenase is a protein encoded by a polynucleotide having a nucleotide sequence according to one of SEQ ID NOs: 24, 26, 30, 35-38, or 40-43. 2 . The CO dehydrogenase of claim 1 , wherein the oxygen resistance is increased 1 to 200 times compared to a wild type CO dehydrogenase. 3 . The CO dehydrogenase of claim 1 , wherein the enzyme activity is increased 1 to 200 times compared to the wild type CO dehydrogenase. 4 . A polynucleotide encoding the CO dehydrogenase of claim 1 . 5 . A vector expressing the CO dehydrogenase of claim 1 . 6 . A microorganism expressing the CO dehydrogenase of claim 1 . 7 . A method of preparing the CO dehydrogenase comprising culturing the microorganism expressing the polynucleotide encoding the CO dehydrogenase of claim 1 . 8 . A method of removing carbon monoxide comprising contacting carbon monoxide with the CO dehydrogenase of claim 1 . 9 . A method of preparing carbon dioxide comprising contacting carbon monoxide with the CO dehydrogenase of claim 1 . 10 . A device for removing carbon monoxide comprising the CO dehydrogenase of claim 1 . 11 . A filter comprising the CO dehydrogenase of claim 1 .
