Abstract excerpt
The formate dehydrogenase (FDH) from Candida boidinii is a well-known enzyme in biocatalysis for NADH regeneration. Nevertheless, it has low activity in a water-miscible ionic liquid (1,3-dimethylimidazolium dimethyl phosphate, [MMIm][Me2 PO4 ]). In this work, this enzyme was subjected to directed evolution by using error-prone PCR, and a mutant (N187S/T321S) displaying higher activity was obtained following...
