A new approach for using cofactor dependent enzymes: example of alcohol dehydrogenase

Abstract: The use of enzymes requiring a cofactor as substrate in organic synthesis is still a problem since the cofactors are expensive. This study deals with a new approach consisting of using fragments of NAD+. Three fragments of NAD(H) are examined. The activities of NMN+ and NMNH are greatly improved by the addition of adenosine in ethanol oxidation and in cyclohexanone reduction, respectively. Nicotinamide monocucleoside is not active in the ethanol oxidation but the addition of AMP promotes this reaction.

“…The present biomimetics all lack the adenine dinucleotide moiety that is part of the natural cofactor NADH. Sicsic et al discovered that the addition of adenosine or adenosine-5′ phosphate to enzymatic reactions increases the activity of horse liver alcohol dehydrogenase with nicotinamide mononucleotide or nicotinamide mononucleoside . In our experiments, the addition of 5 mM adenosine or adenosine-5′ phosphate to the reaction of Ss GDH with BNA + , P2NA + , or P3NA + and d -glucose did not increase specific activity.…”

“…These examples are important steps towards the use of NCBs with dehydrogenases, and more specifically ADHs, which would be advantageous for large scale applications, although NCB recycling and stability is still in its early stages [36]. In a previous study, cofactors NR, NMN, and carbocyclic analogues showed no observable activity in the HLADH-catalyzed oxidation of ethanol [37,38], corroborated by computational studies on the mechanism for hydride transfer in HLADH [39].…”

“…However, whether this redox cycle is well insulated from the numerous endogenous ADHs in E. coli crude lysates has not been tested. On the basis of previous studies, XenA can accept reducing power in the forms of both NADP­(H) and reduced NMN + (NMNH), while endogenous ADHs greatly prefer NAD­(P)H over NMNH, likely because of NMNH’s truncated structure which lacks the adenosine moiety “handle” of NAD­(P)­H. , Thus, we hypothesized that when using GDH wild type (WT) to derive reducing power from glucose, both XenA and ADHs will receive electrons because NAD­(P) + are the cycling cofactor (Figure B). On the other hand, when GDH Ortho is used with the supplementation of NMN + , only XenA will receive electrons because the stringent cofactor specificity of GDH Ortho allows it to only generate NMNH but not NAD­(P)­H (Figure C).…”
