Abstract: Ramie caffeoyl-CoA 3- O-methyltransferase was expressed by pQE High-level Expression system in E.coli. The molecular weight of Ramie Fusion caffeoyl-CoA3- O-methyltransferase is 29.4 kD. The structure of the enzyme has been constructed by SwissModel server. Multiplex structure of the enzyme ,Sinapoyl CoA , SAH and Ca2+ has been constructed by Docking module in software InsightII,and has been optimized by Discover module. It can be presume that Ramie caffeoyl-CoA 3- O-methyltransferase has catalyse function of O-methyltransferase, must been related to lignin monomer precursor methyltransfer.
