Abstract

The performance of immobilized enzyme systems is often limited by cofactor diffusion and regeneration. Here, we demonstrate an engineered enzyme capable of utilizing the minimal cofactor nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN(+)) to address these limitations. Significant gains in performance are observed with NMN(+) in immobilized systems, despite a decreased turnover rate with the minimal cofactor.This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2012
