Photoenzymatic synthesis through sustainable NADH regeneration by SiO_2-supported quantum dots

摘要

Sustainable photochemical NADH regeneration and redox-enzymatic synthesis are accomplished by using CdS nanocrystals grown on the surface of SiO_2 beads. CdS nanocrystals grown on SiO_2 beads worked efficiently as a visible-light absorbing photo-catalyst for in situ NADH regeneration with high catalytic activity and minimal loss of activity despite repeated uses.
