Abstract:Vitamins, as indispensable organic compounds in life activities, demonstrate a complex and refined metabolic network in organisms. This network involves the coordination of multiple enzymes and the integration of various metabolic pathways. Despite the achievements in metabolic engineering and catalytic mechanism research, the lack of studies regarding detailed enzymatic properties for a large number of key enzymes limits the enhancement of vitamin production efficiency and hinders the in-depth understanding and optimization of vitamin synthesis mechanisms. Such limitations not only restrict the industrial application of vitamins but also impede the development of related bio-technologies. This study comprehensively reviews the research progress in the enzymes involved in vitamin biosynthesis and details the current status of research on the enzymes of 13 vitamin synthesis pathways, including their catalytic mechanisms, kinetic properties, and applications in biology. In addition, this study compares the properties of enzymes involved in vitamin metabolic pathways and the glycolysis pathway, and reveals the characteristics of catalytic efficiency and substrate affinity of enzymes in vitamin synthesis pathways. Furthermore, this study discusses the potential and prospects of applying deep learning methods to the research on properties of enzymes associated with vitamin biosynthesis, giving new insights into the production and optimization of vitamins.
