Bioelectrocatalytic Conversion from N-2 to Chiral Amino Acids in a H-2/alpha-Keto Acid Enzymatic Fuel Cell
Enzymatic electrosynthesis is a promising approach to produce useful chemicals with the requirement of external electrical energy input. Enzymatic fuel cells (EFCs) are devices to convert chemical energy to electrical energy via the oxidation of fuel at the anode and usually the reduction of oxygen or peroxide at the cathode. The integration of enzymatic electrosynthesis with EFC architectures can simultaneously result in self-powered enzymatic electrosynthesis with more valuable usage of electrons to produce high-value-added chemicals. In this study, a H-2/alpha-keto acid EFC was developed for the conversion from chemically inert nitrogen gas to chiral amino acids, powered by H-2 oxidation. A highly efficient cathodic reaction cascade was first designed and constructed. Powered by an applied voltage, the cathode supplied enough reducing equivalents to support the NH3 production and NADH recycling catalyzed by nitrogenase and diaphorase. The produced NH3 and NADH were reacted in situ with leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) to generate L-norleucine with 2-ketohexanoic acid as the NH3 acceptor. A 92% NH3 conversion ratio and 87.1% Faradaic efficiency were achieved. On this basis, a H-2-powered fuel cell with hyper-thermostable hydrogenase (SHI) as the anodic catalyst was combined with the cathodic reaction cascade to form the H-2/alpha-keto acid EFC. After 10 h of reaction, the concentration of L-norleucine achieved 0.36 mM with >99% enantiomeric excess and 82% Faradaic efficiency. From the broad substrate scope and the high enzymatic enantioselectivity of LeuDH, the H-2/alpha-keto acid EFC is an energy-efficient alternative to electrochemically produce chiral amino acids for biotechnology applications.
