The utilization of biocatalytic oxidations has evolved from the niche applications of the early 21st century to a widely recognized tool for general chemical synthesis. One of the major drawbacks that hinders commercialization is the dependence on expensive nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD(P)) cofactors, and so, their regeneration is essential. Here, we report the design of carbon-supported Pt catalysts that can regenerate NAD(P) by proton-driven NAD(P)H oxidation with concurrent hydrogen formation. The carbon support was modified to tune the electronic nature of the Pt nanoparticles, and it was found that the best catalyst for NAD(P) regeneration (TOF = 581 h) was electron-rich Pt on carbon. Finally, the heterogeneous Pt catalyst was applied in the biocatalytic oxidation of a variety of alcohols catalyzed by different alcohol dehydrogenases. The Pt catalyst exhibited good compatibility with the biocatalytic system. Its NAD(P) regeneration function successfully supported biocatalytic conversion from alcohols to corresponding ketone or lactone products. This work provides a promising strategy for chemical synthesis NAD(P)-dependent pathways utilizing a cooperative inorganic-enzymatic catalytic system.

Unlabelled: 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenases (6PGDHs) are widely existing as reduced cofactor (NADH/NADPH) regeneration biocatalysts. Herein, a thermostable 6PGDH from (Ht6PGDH) was overexpressed in and enzymologically characterized. Ht6PGDH exhibited exceptional stability and catalytic activity under high-temperature conditions, with an optimum temperature of 85 °C and the ability to maintain high activity for prolonged periods at 70 °C, which could be purified through a one-step heat treatment.

Phenylethylisoquinoline alkaloids (PIAs) are medicinally important natural products derived from the 1-phenylethylisoquinoline precursor. Heterologous production of the PIAs remains challenging due to the incomplete elucidation of biosynthetic pathway and the lack of proper microbial cell factory designed for precursor enhancement. In this work, an artificial pathway composed of eight enzymes from different species was established for de novo 1-phenylethylisoquinoline biosynthesis in engineered .

The catalytic conversion of chiral alcohols and corresponding carbonyl compounds by carbonyl reductases (alcohol dehydrogenases), which are NAD(P) or NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductases, has attracted considerable attention. However, existing carbonyl reductases are insufficient to meet the demands of diverse industrial applications; hence, new enzymes with functions that can expand the toolbox of biocatalysts are urgently required. Developing precisely controlled chiral biocatalysts is of great significance for the efficient development of a broad spectrum of active pharmaceutical ingredients via biosynthesis.

Biological systems can directly upgrade carbon dioxide (CO) into chemicals. The CO fixation rate of autotrophic organisms, however, is too slow for industrial utility, and the breadth of engineered metabolic pathways for the synthesis of value-added chemicals is too limited. Biotechnology workhorse organisms with extensively engineered metabolic pathways have recently been engineered for CO fixation.
