NAD-dependent dehydrogenase bioelectrocatalysis: the ability of a naphthoquinone redox polymer to regenerate NAD†
Abstract
Electron mediation between NAD-dependent enzymes using quinone moieties typically requires the use of a diaphorase as an intermediary enzyme. The ability for a naphthoquinone redox polymer to independently oxidize enzymatically-generated NADH is demonstrated for application to glucose/O2 enzymatic fuel cells.
