Md. Leonida et al., FAD-MEDIATED ENZYMATIC CONVERSION OF NAD(- APPLICATION TO CHIRAL SYNTHESIS OF L-LACTATE() TO NADH ), Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 8(20), 1998, pp. 2819-2824
Electroenzymatic reduction of NAD(+) to NADH for subsequent use in enz
ymatic synthesis has been carried out at carbon electrodes bearing lip
oamide dehydrogenase (LiDH) immobilized under a Nafion(R) film. The se
lf-mediated electron transfer was made possible by an excess of flavin
adenine dinucleotide (FAD) entrapped together with LiDH. Results were
compared to those obtained with a similar electrode containing both L
iDH and a polymeric form of FAD (pFAD) prepared by anodic polymerizati
on of FAD. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
