Abstract
We report the characterization of biohybrid complexes of CdSe quantum dots and ferredoxin NADP+-reductase for photocatalytic regeneration of NADPH. Illumination with visible light led to reduction of NADP+ to NADPH, with an apparent kcat of 1400 h–1. Regeneration of NADPH was coupled to reduction of aldehydes to alcohols catalyzed by a NADPH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase, with each NADPH molecule recycled an average of 7.5 times. The quantum yield both of NADPH and alcohol production were 5–6% for both products. Light-driven NADPH regeneration was also demonstrated in a multienzyme system, showing the capacity of QD-FNR complexes to drive continuous NADPH-dependent transformations.
