A versatile optofluidic microreactor for artificial photosynthesis induced coenzyme regeneration and l-glutamate synthesis

Abstract

With the rapid development of modern society, energy crisis has become a global concern. Solar energy is a good replacement because it is green, unlimited and environmental- friendly. Inspired by...

Recent advances in porous materials for photocatalytic NADH regeneration

“…NADH is capable of coupling oxidoreductases to catalyze a very large number of important reactions, such as hydroxylation and CO 2 reduction reactions. 45,46 We take eqn (6) as an example, where a-ketoglutarate is reduced to L-glutamate under the catalysis of glutamate dehydrogenase. Among them, NADH loses electrons and protons as a reducing agent, and a-ketoglutarate gains these electrons and protons, and is converted to L-glutamate.…”

Cr3+-ZnGa2O4@Pt for Light-Triggered Dark Catalytic Regeneration of Nicotinamide Coenzymes without Other Electron Mediators

“…To date, numerous approaches for NADH regeneration have been developed, such as biological enzymatic catalysis, , chemical reduction, electrochemical method, , and photocatalysis. ,,− Among these, photocatalysis has the characteristics of mild reaction conditions and good biocompatibility and thereby has attracted growing attention. The photocatalysts used for NADH regeneration include titanium dioxide, , carbon nitride, − precious metals (especially platinum , and gold − ), organic conjugated polymer, − cadmium sulfide quantum dot, , etc. However, most photocatalysts can only work under continuous in situ irradiation, which limits the application of photocatalysis in dark environments (at night, in deep tissue, etc. )…”
