ARTIFICIAL ORGANELLES FOR ENZYMATIC COFACTOR REDUCTION

摘要

Described herein are engineered organelles comprising multi-component proteins from different species incorporated into a membrane structure with interior and exterior aspects. In one embodiment the artificial organelle incorporates one or more protein complexes that absorb optical energy and catalyze electron transfer in biochemical reactions that can be used to reduce NAD⁺ to NADH or analogues thereof.
