Effect of metal ion on the CO2 addition by malic enzyme withviologen derivative

摘要

From the viewpoint of green chemistry,CO2 utilization technologies,particularlycarbon-carbon bond formation,have been received a lot of attention.Malic enzyme (ME,EC1.1.1.40) catalyzes a reaction of introducing CO2 as a carboxy group into pyruvate (C3compound) to form malate (C4 compound) via oxaloacetate (C3 compound) in the presence ofthe natural co-enzyme NADPH.ME is an attractive biocatalyst for carbon-carbon bondformation using CO2 as a chemical feedstock.
